The world appeared so friendly,The rain dropped so comely,And sun smiles so lovely,When I was a child. The moon runs after me at night,The star twinkles from a distance,Shadows around stared at close range,When I was a child. I speak to the moon like a companion,I hug my shadow and talk to it as ifContinue reading “REMINISCENCE OF A CHILDHOOD”

LIGHT BEYOND
Through the dark corners of the mind,He wondered round the darkest path,Lost, lost in lust that blindfolded his sight,Hmmm, a light signal beyond, he perceive not. Struggling under the burden of addiction,A self-inflicted confinement of a bounded soul,Freedom becomes more expensive than sapphire and onyx,Yet he sees not the dangling bonanza of liberation beyond. ConfusionContinue reading “LIGHT BEYOND”
THE PURSUIT
Swinging from one end to another,Ambition tosses to and fro like a pendulum,Never will human quest kiss satisfaction,The achievement of one goal begat the pursuit of the other. Like the vast universe and its countless nebula,Homo-sapiens mind appeared broader and beyond,Acquisition of all to himself lies at the corridors of his thought,The achievement of oneContinue reading “THE PURSUIT”
MY THOUGHTS
Human heart is a gallery of diaries, stocking the images in the past and the imaginations of the future. Like a bird on the pathway of the air, so is the thought that failed to be engraved on the sand of time. Never will the world around cares to fetch from the wealthy stream ofContinue reading “MY THOUGHTS”
WARMONGER
Caution my pen that his name be not mentioned,So arrogant in heart that he finds no mentee,Sighing of victims all days without measure,No virtue, no heart, for he is a warmonger. Deadened empathy he wears, a twin of Lucifer,Proudly he unleashes doom on humanity,A wild dog he is, straying in his own imagination,No virtue, noContinue reading “WARMONGER”
THE INEVITABLE
Chants of the new moon on the isles,Relaxation spots accosted in all balconies,Fireworks as rainbow in the new blue,Yet will I not forget to prepare for the inevitable. Fine linens of purple across the streets,As paris is replicated in all village hurts,Singing not sighing through the dawn of the new,Yet will I not forget toContinue reading “THE INEVITABLE”
AREAS OF THE NIGER
Tears flow on their street like tsunami,Carcasses of the dejected liters the jungle like Somalia,Poverty is their companion and hunger their kinsman,Their rulers are prodigal and callous in mind. Tales of murder, kidnap and theft,On daily posts like a wildfire,Pilgrims journey with their hearts in their own hands,Even their watchmen are victims of the captors.Continue reading “AREAS OF THE NIGER”

BLAME
On what subject(s) are you an authority? Not again can we continue to languish at the corridors of blame. We will arise with full force to harness our buried potentials, and take our rightful place in the global community. Africa will rise! For all her predicaments from colonial era she blames,But not a thought inContinue reading “BLAME”
