ONWU IKE (PAINFUL DEATH) II

 

Ije uwa! 
Onwu visited two lovers
On the bed of kwokirikwo, 
Thighs feasting on thighs 
Just to gratify their libidos. 

Her hero went home 
Home to rest in pieces 
Aramide was chilling in coma 
Today, she lies in state. 

Both have journeyed 
To the other side, 
Igunu and Aramide 
Will live forever, beyond. 

This was orchestrated
By Ekwensu,
If only they had a second chance,
They would have,
Rewrite their wrongs.

It hurts to say adieu
Aramide Adeleke,
You have broken many hearts
Farewell, to the other side.
