Ancient Nembe Poem by Eunice Ingonabo

Ancient Nembe, cast in iron
Your warriors fought with a will never tire
Your way of life is strong and true
In all you do, you stay ever so true
Your masks and drums echo in the night
Your stories of realms unknown, so enlightening and bright
Your warriors still protect the truth
In ways beyond what some may misconstrue
Your culture entwined with nature's grace
You take great care in preserving your place
Your mysteries and secrets though, remain untold
And still your people will never get old
Ancient Nembe, you still stand proud
Your culture is a treasure, never to be clouded
Your future is shining bright and bold
Your legacy told in stories, stories never to be untold.
