Ugochukwu Obijiofor Poem
Restraint sacked by guilty pleasures
Liberty to relay emotional features
Cerebrum overthrown by larynx
Coy fetters shattered by the heavy blow of drugs
Passion for things of onyx
High pants worn in imitation of prisoners
Appearing trendy is a criteria
Modifing the lives of their listeners
They dine mostly in galleria
The society endorse them
Companies sponsor
Modesty is a snag to their pursuit
None files a lawsuit
To them immorality is a virtue
They make it their nature
Being realistic who would reject all these
Who will reject fame and grammies

Ugochukwu Obijiofor Poem
But for your manifestation in dried pulp
Minds neglect your invasion
The crave for you unquenchable .
Lime light shining on your possessors
Underdogs gazing loathsomly at your managers
Soo powerful you send jolts down the spine of those
Witness your prowess
Making your wish their command
Like a squirrel in snowing forest minds omit not knowledge of your perpetuated asylum .
Unfathomable is your innocence yet
Loyal to the most guilty of all
Reward for lunacy, you are showered
Hands that are most stained,
On the strong that preyed on the weak .
Though a two edged sword though has done
More evil than good
My only kudos goes to your being a scale
Used to measure the integrity of the grey haired
The thought of you power has pushed conscience
Off the cliff, dethroned regrets and burnished admonition
Breeding sycophants to ldolise ur deeds.
Blindfold made of ornaments, and sustained by aroma of luxury we all trudge along like wildebeests
Neglecting the wails of agony resulting from the excruciating pain of bodies trampled upon
Like a countdown you are always the alpha in
The scale, preferred to any other form gratitude.
Your absence like a deficiency inflicted your victims
With timidity,loyalty, linferiority complex and self doubt
Panacea produced by unconventional means
Like a miracle you heal by touch alone
Making tongues lie, hands soiled in blood
Just to possess you
Should your crime be documented,the whole world
Can't contain it, yet your place of Adobe still remains every paper's dream
Thief! You ought to be hanged for stealing our mind and thoughts,but the hanges man
Couldn't resist the pleasures and charisma you
Could be exchanged for.
In the law court should you be prosecuted for looting
Our cultural treasures and value
Judas couldn't resist the comfort you could offer him
You are the the token assassin's collect for the elimination of boredom
Am l an exception?
My sword is out of the furnace and ready for exploit
I rather pile you up or die trying

Ugochukwu Obijiofor Poem
Couach potatoes! Scrambling for trivialities
The eyes delight, detrimental to their intellect
Immersed in gape at the melanin free race
Laying eggs of colloquialism to metamorphose into
Formality cherishing fool's errand with hilarious gestures
Blindly swaggering when near a shelf of
Bibliographies,deaf to the wail of books left desolate
Heading for the sitting room to clinch the cosiness
Of the couch which Springs up felicity like an oasis and academics viewed ad draught calling acidity
Recording "etiquette", becoming a lady or a gent,
Being flirty trendy and touched
Like an umpire as points scored
"civilised" if this be be, count count not l among thy subjects
Cast me away from thy chariot ,
Exclude me from your parade
Aloof stand l, outcast l proclaim
