Kongi At 83 Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu
Kongi At 83
The highly respected man of words and letters,
The Lion of the Jewel,
Library in itself
A world treasure
Unfading model
Literary giant
Survivor!
Fearless and out spoken,
Rain that falls for all
Truth and justice enclaved
Mighty and valiant one
Son of Oduduwa,
Patriot of Africa
Prince of Eledumare
The god of literature and all writings;
Veritable conscience of the people,
Scourge of irresponsible government,
Academic enigma!
Professor of comparative literature, of the dynasty of Akinwade!
Happy birthday to Oluwole Akinwade Soyinka- Prof. Wole Soyinka, the afro-realist,
The IFA priest and noble.
Since July 13,1934.
I have you on my hip Baba!
-the Patriot, Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu (son of man)
Excellent superlatives for your Baba, but very sad to read this: I have you on my hip Baba!
A fine and lofty tribute to the litrary icon ceremoniously rich in tone. Very powerfully and movingly penned with conviction.
