Best Nubia Poems


Sun Thief
Once upon a time, there lived a boy called Simon.
He was an ordinary boy who did what ordinary nine year old
boys do: collecting bugs and putting them in jars,
speaking to imaginary friends, riding a bike along an empty road
in the woods….. 

As the only child...

Eji-Lola
She smiles,
The day gets loosed from the long closed door of the night
The sun shines in an extreme gentle manner
The proud trees bow to the regal walk of the wind
The flowers blossom in the dried end of this season
And the dead land abounds with peerless...

Oreke
OREKE
Oreke!
I've seen the brightness that comes with the sun
I've witnessed the moonlight defeat the darkest night
I've dined with the breeze exhaled by the ocean
Travelled on the back of the walking river
And fought and triumphed in the bloodiest war
But never behold a beauty like Oreke-lewa

Oreke!
A Nubia,...

I must say you are one of those African
artistes that drive my soul to the skies 
and show me what the world looks like
 with the lens of legacies.
You drown my soul into the depths
of dreams and shows me the reality
of radiance in the dark.
You...

Premium Member The Royal Bloodline
From ancient times, a bloodline divine,
Ruling over lands, with power to shine,
Kings and queens, of a line sacred,
Their legacy, forever inviolate.

With wisdom and might, they led the way,
The throne, their seat, unchallenged sway,
Law and order, with justice in sight,
Their subjects, loyal, in all their might.

The unending episodes of the famous five 
-And ice pellets we used to pick In the rains .

Whatever happened to good deeds,
and where did all the good people go ?
