À propos de l'auteur

Ikenna Chinedu Okeh

Ikenna Okeh was born in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria. He has lived the most part of his early years there. In 2013, he started out with writing short stories which he shared to literary websites such as www.worldcitystories.com and www.storystar.com, and on his Facebook page. Later that year, he began work on his first novel , A Fistful Of Sands, completing the first draft in early September, 2014. He went on to write a crime novel, An Assignment In Owerri, and then accompanied it with a sequel, A Bad Time To Die. After a few months away from writing, he commenced work on another stand alone Bones & Closets . Bones & Closets has been described as a crime novel with strong political leanings. All of his novels are set in contemporary Nigeria. He writes poems too. They are mostly narrative poetry. He has published four collections of poems and three narrative verses. His narrative verses are book length African epic stories with rich cultural and historical backdrops. They are fused with suspense, dialogue and every other element of conventional storytelling. Readers have likened his narrative verses to Homer's Illiad, told with simple language. Ikenna Okeh likes food even though he would rather not do the cooking. He writes music reviews, promotes music, and is a co-founder of UbuntuFM Hip-Hop and UbuntuFM Music, both online platforms which respectively promote hip-hop music to a global audience and digitally distribute and sell music. Among his hobbies are traveling, reading and movies.

Chapter 1

WOMAN

In every land or place,

Be it under lord or earl,

Whether it be heaven or hell

It is a woman who dictates the pace

If a people be plagued by greed,

Or they live by some noble creed

All that’s to be said of a clan of men

Reflects but the longing of its women

A woman’s approval is prized like none other

Whether it be wife, mistress or mother

And such points the way,

Towards which man’s strivings must sway

Fine and sublime is woman’s activity

Such is her portion in God’s creation

But how she’s fallen into depravity,

And with her, men of every nation.

CHAPTER 2

THE MOMENT BEFORE THE END

At that moment before the end,

It all makes a lot of sense

All provisions are seen for their end

And the one becomes servile to every sense.

When over famined lands,

And scorched and baked sands,

The rainclouds gather from distant ends

Gratitude heralds the moment before the end.

Despair besieges the soul who has woefully sown

Its gaze disfavours all it did nurture and tend;

For every treasure’s worth shall be known,

At that moment before the end.

To them wearied with life’s wars

And unsettled by all that is and was

What taste does approaching victory lend,

At that moment before the end.

In the quest for living,

Love and brotherhood is lost to the living

But their purpose shall the living comprehend,

At that
