Tethani Poem by Ekwueme Kelechi

For the sake of Tethani
Send me back to my lovely home
Send me back for my soul longs for it

Let the day never sleep
Let sleep never grip
Let the Queen know of my return

Let her hear it from the lips of the air
Let the air smite her heart
With the whisper of conviction

Tell England to prepare for my return
Tell her to make big a feast
A big feast of tears

Tears for the naked souls graved on purpose
Tears for the demise of a race without a trace
Tears! Tears! For the extinction that kicked Tethani
