Great Mother Poem by Tony-Cemaluk Egbuonu

GREAT mother of mothers most memorable. Mother;
Of Festac-like festivals; of astute kings from old to new all nebulous; of great warriors, the likes of the retaliators.

Mother;
Of prosperous farmer, the humbler that humbled the White tax collector to slumber with a cup, only, of undiluted upwine; of brave explorers that leg-benzed to Port Harcourt and left, on leaving, mementoes of the mother.

Mother;
Of young pilot, the unsung hero that, without even a hanger, perched, as an elephant eagle, on your soil; of acclaimed poets, the Labyrinth, oh Idoto, and Ideoto again. U.I. trio cum trio upwine, calabash or glass tumble debate? . Don't let him die, without farewell to Idoto.

Mother;
Of frontline Economist, White man but in black skin; Pacific institution, taller than Everest; of truth defending son, proud being your scion. Life sacrificed defending truth.

Mother;
Of renowned Agronomist; Africa's agricultural wizard, the baritone-voiced guru, in tune with nature; of up and coming sons; men of the people, kowtowing to conquer at the sight of light at tunnels' end.

Mother;
Of mothers so strong-willed; bridged, surpassed woman to man gap. Unassisted widowed mother of he that is with what is mighier than the swords. Mother; of mothers, Ojoto; great mother of mothers mostly dear.
