*Tony Cemaluk Egbuonu Poems

Nkea na amamu ahu jijijiji,
Ikedo mu na nmazi uzo di
n'okpulu ugbo mmili anyim,
...

PROMISE not pounded yam when you can't
pound pounded yam; worst, under oath,
when you can, but compromise instead to pound cocoyam.

*Teaching/introduction*
Life will take us through many travails but as iron that must go through the Smith's foundry fire for refinement and restoration to full iron strength. And as God's children that must pass from Egypt, through the wilderness, embark on missionary journeys, broke free from chains of prison, past Malta after shipwreck— to gain God's appointed places where freedom, versatility abound to wear the crown of grace, faith and victory.
Just trust HIM. Don't give up the ghost. Never yield to any tribulation phase out of fear. No tribulation is beyond God and God's own.
Even in the fire of life's tribulations, we worship HIM. For our escape shall lead to crowns of grace, faith and victory.

Verse 1:
When the battle is not mine
And the enemy surrounds

Are you an adult?
Are you a sage?
Are you honest?
Are you sane?
...

The reception, really receptive,
As marketing public relation, was repetitive,
To be solely so; so the trick was to ignore all,
As an ignorant, even the sonorous singing ringing tone,
...

N'okpuru ụgbọ Mmiri

Ọ na-ama m oke egwu n'ezie,
na-ekekọta m na rudder a.
...

However this load, it is an overload,
Whenever there's overloading, there's an urge to offload.
I will rather go off the road,
...

Sincerity reaffirmed, all
In its ramifications,
Verily, knowing and meeting
As the Yuletide was young.
...

THANK YOU,
for all that we shared.
The irrationally-laden meeting,
dry-cleaned with humble hearts.
