Do You Know Me

I am he who threw the cat down 
and its back touches the ground with fears.
He who unmasked the masquerade in the market place
and its went in to hiding.
I have fought with the wind and won,
I have been to the forest and killed 
Thousands but one lion and the elephant left 
Their domain weeping.
Do you know who i am?
I am john chizoba Vincent
The social crusader who fear no one.
I can look the sun in the face 
And send him back to his mother.
I weep when no one is weeping
I smile and laugh when no one laughs.
I am john chizoba Vincent,
An image of a new Nigeria 
Born in the house of symbols.
I can stand tall look death in the face and 
He runs back for freedom.
I am john chizoba vincent 
An image of change to a better atmosphere.
