Okonkwo Ifeanyichukwu Poet Lyric

The Black Poet

I am the black poet with black book
The dark gold the black diamond
As hot as hot coal with out harm
The dark cloud with Clement weather
Cooking black words in the kitchen of
dark light and black pots
Driving Literature with bouncing rhymes
Like a black taxi driver with poetic license
