Uto Uwa Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

In mass we toiled to the tomb of Idoto
The inhabitants of mbanebeuda
Moping tears out of the living
For the sake of them that died so long
Among the barrens we bear much bleeds
As we celebrate the dead
Forged and forgotten in the fierce force
With aggrieved mind
Shooters admired
A feed till merry night
Mourning our kins that went underworld
Ahead we were in mend to men of Igodo
Like the recent settlers
Splashed with ease of Ubana
When we were to live with men
I mean with open mind
Peeping the nakedness of gods
At the dying night
Life was a battle
Troops were called for our own thrillers
Drift in the land of divorce
Here we pledged the need of living good
In between a blessing we excrete the curse
So it harm no brand
Hope beyond the reach of men
Miseries we part so we can live like gods
Teaming the days of us
Uto-uwa the road map trend
The world ride so wide
Lending numerous life to feed
Keeping the joys so many
Chosen to be appeased in life
As we chop with them that mourn their beloved ones
Gifting morrow their worries to bear
And them endowed with wealth
Their worries we claim we wear
For our very own good
As we dance to rhythm and blues
