Rebellion is never over: A Poem that defines Ohaneze Ndi Igbo -By J. Ezike

J. Ezike

Until Betrayal turns to Allegiance

And Heart heeds to Conscience

Rebellion is never over

Ohaneze drums for restructuring

In harmony with British hegemony

To keep sacred the constitution of death and slavery

A sentence of extinction on Biafra, the people and its history

Therefore,

Until Betrayal turns to Allegiance

And Heart heeds to Conscience

Rebellion is never over

Ohaneze equates referendum to war

The pursuit of Justice and Freedom they abhor

Ushering Python Dancers to strike and devour

Their sons and daughters for the power they savor

Therefore,

Until Betrayal turns to Allegiance

And Heart heeds to Conscience

Rebellion is never over

Ohaneze chooses to dine with the oppressors

To collude and soil hands with aggressors

Feeding on the blood of their children whom they call agitators

All for a chance to become political gladiators

Therefore,

Until Betrayal turns to Allegiance

And Heart heeds to Conscience

Rebellion is never over

Ohaneze acts as agents of darkness and mischief

And organized gang of saboteurs and thieves

Like dogs panting with wanton lust for what the Master gives

Little wonder these “bitches” make a meal of their own “puppies”

Therefore,

Until Betrayal turns to Allegiance

And Heart heeds to Conscience

Rebellion is never over!

Rebellion is never over!!

Rebellion is never over!!!
