Poem Title:

The final whistle

Poem Theme:

Crime and criminality justice and injustice

Poem Inspiration:

My immediate younger brother was brutally murdered in 2015.My background was poor. My dad died when I was two. When my brother died, I was the only surviving son, an apprentice (nwa boyi' boyi',the normal Igbo servant and master system)living far away from them with my Oha,madam and his boys. The investigation process was suspended just because I had no fund of my own to sponsor it.

How long have they been writing poems:

About twenty five years now for fun since early primary school days.

How they discovered their passion for poetry and word art:

From a humble background. I was born naturally left -handed. Most persons like that are gifted artists. Since I couldn't use paint and pencil but I had flair for spoken, written and sign languages,I ventured into poetry - the universal language of the soul using words powerfully to make mental impressions that can last a lifetime. I secretly read novels and poems way more sophisticated than my age. I literally stole them from my sister while she was asleep and made sure to finish them through out the night before she would wake up. I finished reading most of them even before she could do so. I later spent a lot of time in school and state libraries. Early morning and very late at night allowed me concentrate. Weep not Child by Ngugi wa Thiongo,Dodged to finality,Sizwe Bansi is dead and notable writers like Shakespeare,Chinua Achebe,Wole Soyinka and Chimamanda Adichie inspired me.
