Best Refineries Poems


Premium Member Snow Dust
Melting tears of the moon is snow dust, frozen droplets
Turning into flakes of white icy lace, that cling to the baron
Limbs of the tree tops, for it is winters grace, a frozen
Kiss given unto autumns last sighs of farewell, until
The next seasons change takes place.
Softly...

Nigerian Independence Celebration
As October 1 approaches, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY……………………
I have enormous tracts of land and vast volumes of water, but cannot feed myself.
So I spend $1 billion to import rice and another $2 billion on milk.
I produce rice, but don’t eat it. I have millions of cows...

Premium Member The Valley Aurora
Oh, in inspirations winter dreaming, I’ve dream't
Of a mystic valley of the Aurora Borealis,
A chambered realm of frozen colors,
Exploding within reflected light aglow,
In the hushed silence of ice and snow.
Here the pondering thoughts are set from beyond
Limitations of realities boundaries.
I'm a poet on a free...

Choices and Voices
Choices my dear one,
So many choices, 
So few voices,
Some near,
Some far,
Some to fear.

A path.
Clear and chosen.  
The erasure of a closing.
The logos of math.
The trajectory of wrath.
The conciliatory legislation blindly ruling the cosmos of grammar.
The armies of polygamous trees,
Surrounding a clearing,
Whose rape and unfinished...

IMAGINE  NIGERIA.
Imagine  Nigeria,
Becoming  a  sweet  fruit
Like  my  orange  juice,
Imagine  Nigeria
With  patriotic  youths
Who  speck  truth  and
Make  my  future  look

Imagine  Nigeria
That  education  carry’s  a
Concrete  foundation,

Have You Ever Dreamed
Have You Ever Dreamed?

Have you ever dreamed 
of a Nigeria where all is well;
Where the streets are cleaned,
and everywhere is safe to dwell?

Have you ever dreamed
of a Nigeria where promises are kept;
Where the leaders want to serve the led,
achieving results both brave and apt?

Have you ever...

A Packet of Lies
A PACKET OF LIES

I will build houses on the oceans
And you shall have no cause to
Cry again like those without shelter;
I will build an Estate and make it
Free of charge for all masses.
I shall declare my assets naked
When you vote for me this time.

All students...

If You See Africa
If you see Africa
Tell her that I am in love with her
Tell her that I love her more than ladies
Love recharge cards and strawberry
Tell her that I love her more 
Than the politicians do
Tell her that I love her with blindness
To her weak economy 
And...

Why?
Why did the price of oil suddenly rise plumb out of sight?
A simple way of manipulating our lives, and no it’s neither fair nor is it right.

Did you ever wonder why they haven’t built more new gas refineries?
Just another way of controlling you and me.

Why...

When the Gods Visited
When the gods visited in their ragalia,
We were like those that were dreaming.
We  walked in the shadow of our stupidity,
We Danced without legs in the public
Because thousands of our smiles were missing
And our white teeth were not shinning as usual.



The ghost of Azikiwe was...

White Noise
Blat , Blat
Sporadic gunfire firing back
Our way of life is under attack
And what I mean by that 
Is protect the Oil Refineries 
Protect Democracy freedom of speech 
Protect the Banks & Institutions 
Call the order to Fire Back at Will
Give them a taste of their...

Once In the Land of Walkside
Once In The Land Of Walkside

Once in the land of Walkside
See blue the leaf sighed
Electric passed through rainbows by the tides
Sky fixed itself a drink of day in pastel gray
Trees naked, bare of green, shape themselves into tomorrow
Shade Fades with yellows on the march 
Sun...

A Flower Blossoms
 A FLOWER BLOSSOMS


Even in the dreary wastelands
Of the modern industrial age
In the dirty, shattered window panes
Of long-abandoned factories
In the stench of refineries, the smog
Even in all that
A dandelion stretches its lonely neck
Through a concrete crack
And blossoms. ...
