This is a very different poem from Clark's "Abiku". Soyinka's attitude is very different. His poem explores the myth and essence of the abiku and highlights the capricious and elusive, clairvoyant, tyrannical and uncontrollable qualities of abiku whose spirit-side and close association with death are emphasized all the time. It is abiku that speaks as the persona in this poem and his whole demeanor and tone are chilling and demoralizing, almost satiric.Renee

Tone/mood. The tone/mood of Wole Soyinka's Abiku is patently boastful. In the poem, Abiku keeps asserting that he is powerful, therefore his repeated death and birth is inevitable. Abiku boasts of how powerless the charmed bangles, amulets and sacrifice cannot stop him from his repeated circle of death and birth.
