Loving our broken world
Some of us are faster
building great walls
Nonetheless we cluster,
making life hard
Some of us are eager
to travel worlds
Xenophobic murders,
they take our head.
Some of us are beggars
in foreign lands
Nothing thus is better
than rural brand.
Some of us are winners,
fame framed on walls
None of which would ever
offer a hand
Some of us live better
in broken worlds
Nothing thus is uglier
than foreign land.

Sentimentalism
No man owns the great soil we stand
But our bloods are shed on this land
Skulls we count brings hatred to mind
North, South, East and West pick hand.
The golden ball is on your court
Wonder why it is difficult ?
The tender feelings never die
Nostalgia continues to fly.
Brains build an evil monument
One bad thing about sentiment
Is that she writes an alibi
Defending her all actions and
Those of her tribes, sisters, brothers,
Dad and mum, sons and her daughters
Whether they are guilty or not
Exculpation she drops alot.
We all have narratives to share
But do we have to destroy selves
When an atom of peace and love
Would give unity strengthen globe.

Dead men tell lies on May 29th
29th May hurts….!!!
Of what use are boats
If they can not float
Politicians pie
Countless lies on lies.
Lying through the teeth
Out comes the sworn oath
Last lines they recite
The flags are replaced,
Signs of the new race.
Up goes the bullets,
Twenty one loud shots,
Another man to eat
Another zone defaced
To frustrate the new face.

Nigeria: Eating flesh, gifting bones
It pains so hard
That we still find
Folks eating sand
In a rich land.
Disparity
Between parties
Pose such pity
In my city.
Poverty sketch
Hits highest pitch
Those who eat flesh
Gift bones and preach.
It pains so hard
That we still find
Folks eating sand
In a rich land.
Many reach heights
To detach sight
From fingers that
Fed them in past
Disregarding
The beginnings
And forgetting
Humble gardens.
Seems the rich aim
At sending rain
To combat strain,
But make more gain;
And, not to sink
They kick, poor pick
Demeaning rocks
Praising rich folks.

Nigeria: Frowns of chicks
In the farm, there are many preys
But we count the number of crates
Bountiful harvest; all we pray
Running fast from all the lichen,
And the butchers in the kitchen
The hatchlings of the fat chicken…
Prays to survive daily movements
Tailored by kettles, pans and pots
The authority is corrupt
Dispensing tears, hardship and fear
To be fair, if you make it here
I bet, you can make it anywhere.

Nigeria: Congratulated
After night, comes dawn
Yes; I lie, I will be fine
Under the footage of grey
And therewith sufferings
Tasted as honey sweetness
In the core of bitterness.
My foot turn cold
Feverish; I shiver
Terrified by the shadows
Crying a river
But something in me says;
Congratulate the moon
The night may be long
But dawn will surely come.

Nigeria: Today’s Missile
Disparity of low and high
Had given me an evil sign
Coming as a million crate
Signalling, will Atiku wait
For the million missiles far…
Kano, Kastina and Kaduna
I know thumbprints do not lie
But, stop counting the ways I die.

Nigeria: Welcome to Nigeria
Welcome to Nigeria
Where we love our tribe so much
That we let it destroy us.
From twenty-fifteen
She pleaded for a solution
To end the heat and dry bones.
Now; twenty-ninteen
We are to remove bad blood
And infuse a better one
But we kick the doctors,
Run out of facilities
And set it all on fire.
Welcome to Nigeria
Where we love our tribe so much
That we let it destroy us.

Nigeria: Atiku’s Cross
What can the Eastern wind do
What can the Rainforest do
When the heats from the North
Are “dying moistures of hope”
Aided by the center tears
And the broom from West
Fervently sweeping droplets
Falling to dust off dark clouds
Fuming the entire green.

For rewards of fruits
I will say the truth;
Nothing but the truth
Hello Nigerians
Send on an errand
Mentally sound minds
Not vegetables
Or broken tables
Who aren’t able
To sow seeds today
Or gather some hay
For the better days.
Our chances to become
All that we clamour
Knocks loud at the door,
Please ! do not answer
Bright future dimmers
We can do better.
