THE CHIEF PRIEST

I was born for this, 
To proclaim the good news;
But I can't explain,
How I got here.

I was a virgin, 
When I had intercourse
With literature,
Will I ever recover my innocency?

My eyes have regained
her virginity,
But the heart dances 
To the rhythm of poetry. 

Could this be Agwu, 
hindering my calling? 
Always masquerading 
in lines and stanzas, 
To increase my Muse. 

Ekwensu must not win 
this battle, 
If not, he will glorify his foolishness 
And mock my soul forever, 
Okunmuo, a paradise for sinners.

Like the prodigal son, 
Many, will come back to the Father 
At the sound of my poetries, 
To adore and pay reverence 
To Chukwu Okike forever.
