Adejoh Momoh Poem
you stand tall and raise your shoulders high,
you walk amongst my superiors,
its true- i work for you,
you claim to be my superior but im more useful than you are,
this is proven in the fact that i do your laundry,
the only question i ask is "can you do mine",
you are nothing but a weakling,
its true i work on your plantations,
its only factual to ask if in my absence you can work on them yourself,
you go to bed overfilled cos i sacrifice my meal for you,
you wear clean robes cos i do your laundry,
i yearn to know how much you can do when i depart from you,
lets face it- you owe me your existence,
i pray for you cos i love you more than you love me,
i soak myself in sweat so you can soak yourself in comfortable lavender,
its only brilliant to say you are an almost worthless being.

Adejoh Momoh Poem
you are only a mere man
limited in strenght and magical powers
your needs are never ending
you sweat like its a curse and minimize food like its a burden to eat
wretched is your kind
it shows in your way of life
children cursing mothers or the other way round
representatives causing pain
and man takes a hole in the mountain as home
you live complainig and die dissapointed
your needs- more than numerous
your responsibilities unfulfilled
the life of a mere man is better imagined.

Adejoh Momoh Poem
where went you my creativity?
the search for you seems almost endless,
and my small feeble hands stay idle.
Isnt it you who should refresh me?
take away my time and replace it with great achievements,
take away my pains and replace them with overflowing calmness,
where went you, my creativity?
Isnt it you who should keep me busy?
and carry away my idleness,
make me not the devils workshop,
and now you are not here.
Isnt it you who should reassure me?
reassure me that im relevant to society,
and make me proud with overflowing achievements,
and now you have deserted me?
Doesnt these say you have failed?
you were wrong when you should have been right,
all the same please come back cos without you i cannot acomplish anything.
