John Chizoba Vincent Poet Blank verse

I Am Just a Poet

Stand not there at my door and weep
I have nothing to offer you but words
I am just an ordinary poet in my world
I am not a politician who kill and lie.


Go to Aso Rock and meet them in columns;
Those who chameleon their colours are there,
Maybe they would teach you how to steal,
They only teach how to steal when you want to.


I am just an ordinary poet in my world
I don't know how to lie through my nose
I have nothing to offer you but words
So don't stand there at my door and weep.


Don't you stand there and weep, biko!
I have nothing to offer you but words
I am just an ordinary poet in my world
I am not a politician who kill and lie.
