PATRIS OKIGBOLUMBA (For Christopher Okigbo and Patrice Emery Lumumba)

In the flood of cruel moonlight
And bold blackness of the dark
Patkris you bewailed our fate
To restore the face.
You contraried the winds like an oak
And into huge distance you leaped like a bolt
As our land danced naked
Paddling the darkness.
