Gold Star SadnessI get straight A’s
I show up
I say thank you
I win medals
And never cry
In public
They say
I’m so mature
So composed
So impressive
But no one asks
How it feels
To carry a coffin
Of expectations
On a growing spine
Being depressed
When you’re “so good at everything”
Is like drowning
In a sea of...

Winifred is not like the othersOld ladies in a line would be wearing pastel hats
Their shoes would be common, plain, ugly flats.
Their hair would be tamed, snipped and curled.
But Winifred had just had her soul unfurled.
Unencumbered, she was a dancing diva now.
She wanted her wild curls to give the men a wow
Their wives would hate her, what would they think?
Winifred...

Sexy Frog did not Listen to her MotherSexy frog was almost too svelte to meet the queen
The queen is corpulent and ugly, rarely seen
Do not dress too well, her mother cautioned her.
But Sexy frog was not subtle, and in no way demure.
So sexy frog showed off a glowing glittery dress.
Her nails were done, and her hair not a mess.
The Rubenesque queen toad...

Braving out the TsunamiA huge tsunami did not bother these two
Maude McMillian and her twin sister Sue
They got in their shopping cart and rode a wave
Many commented those old gals are brave
We have been in tsunamis worse than this one said
Yes, and we are still alive said her sis, nowhere dead
They laughed and chortled as they blew around...

THE EVILS OF RACISMI am human with the same dignity and power,
then why treat me like an alien?
Our skincolour differs, but we are all created and designed by one God and maker.
I have great potentials just like the white man,
But I am treated and rejected just because of my colour.
I undergo physical, emotional and social discrimination and suppression,...

THE EVILS THAT THRIVES IN OUR SOCIETYWriting this poem in an awful plight,
I wonder when mr.nigeria would be safe and secure.
Everyone running helter-skelter,
Insecurity and kidnapping are our next door neighbours,
Social vices are becoming rampant in the society at large.
Injustice, corruption and inhuman killings are the order of the day,
People are scared and filled with fear,
Many innocent souls are lost in...

The Candle Had No idea of her AllureDear Future Generations,
The candle did not know whether to snuff herself out
Or begin dancing around the cemetery and give a shout
She knew she was not going to join her cousin, on walk-about
But other than that, she had a vague sense of doubt
Who do you think you are? Asked the snippy porcupine.
He was still pouting when...

EscapismI slipped through reality,
In a threadbare dreamscape, stitched with denial.
Just when I thought,
I was over it
It came back to haunt
to show me how I cannot escape if my mind doesn't
They say faded memories don't taunt you.
But when they do
I leave everything behind
Even my conscience to-
Run away to hide

I will not make a left while drivingI will drive anywhere
If I don’t have to make a left
Unless it’s a driveway
and there are no other cars on the street
If it is an intersection without an arrow
I will drive twelve miles out of my way
And drive a box to come in on the other side
So, I can make a right...
