Adieu Elechi Amadi Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

With the voice of Niyi Osundare,
I will sing a beautiful song to your
Departing spirit until my voice ache,
A brave saint you are cracking every
nut that refuse to put on a smile on face.


You are a drumer breaking the wind
of a glory once stolen from humans,
Adieu great man of the eastern voice.
Legs of patriotic eyes watches printed
Footsteps on the sand of your yesterday.


In the spirit of Fela Anikulapo Kuti,
I will dance and sing alone to you.
Adieu great gem once behold in glory,
your name is still carved on the sky
from one generations to another, you live.


Adieu! Adieu! ! We all say in unison,
we've marketed our souls to mourn you,
deeper than sword, your words pierce
Into our souls for tomorrow which is to come
Rest we shall meet in glory soonest.
