Hear now the voice of Ogadi, child of shadow and light, whose feet have walked the alleys of sorrow and the plains of silence. Ogadi speaks for the unborn, the forsaken, the children whose cries were never carried to the heavens. In twenty-five songs, the lament of the abandoned rises, trembles, and turns into a heartbeat that will not be silenced. From the whispers of those lost before life, to the footsteps of the orphan, the voiceless, the stolen-each verse carries the weight of grief, yet hums with the pulse of endurance. These are songs of sorrow, yes, but also of fire: the fire of survival, the fire of spirit, the fire that will dance through the darkness and summon hope. In the final dance, "Ogadi's Last Dance", despair lifts its veil, and resilience reigns. The child who knew only neglect rises, dancing a rhythm that calls the continent to remember, to witness, to honor, and to nurture. These poems are a drumbeat of ancestry, a chant of the eternal, a summons to hearts willing to answer the call of the future. Songs of Ogadi is a sacred offering: a voice of the unheard, a song of the resilient, a bridge between the spirits of yesterday and the leaders of tomorrow. Those who read, who listen, who feel, are bound by the invisible cords of memory, hope, and Africa itself. "His poetry, like his personality, is at once firm and gentle, able to confront hard truths without losing focus and compassion." - Orji Ogbonnaya Orji
