Necta from the Gods

Okoro, Nwafor, and Ejike. Three unwise men from the Floral east Where spurred by an atavistic urge To visit the Shrine of NWOKE The Hedonist! The keeper Of the frothy Necta That soothes anxiety with oils of pleasure. At the crack of dawn. The keeper makes a journey Far into the blurry thickest With nothing but a twig he conquered the palm And communes with the deities As a Reward He is blessed with a Necta With which he curses Men. From cocks crow to sunset The Shrine of Palmfonds Is never void of men. Poor Devils! Seeking to ease the heebie-jeebies of existence. But the talisman of the necta is temporal! The spirit only possesses for a night. It flees by dawn cos it fears the light. The three unwise men from the Floral east Must make another visit to the Shrine. They became faithfuls They live only on the poisonous Necta FIT ONLY FOR THE GODS.

Nectar is the rich wine tapped from the famous palm tree scattered aboundantly in the eastern part of Nigeria
