Biafran Poems | Examples


LOVE ME

I’m in the phase of my menstrual,
Where I’m very vocal,
And I want to talk about love,
Romantic love to be specific,
How it elevates you to another galaxy,
A lovely exciting world you see, 
A world, before unimagined,
Full of possibilities
Wonders and amazing entities.

But then, 
Think about it, 
This is the only way love can be,
Without this elevation, love seizes to exist,
Such a great feeling, unreal as it is,
You’re special now, no longer just a particle of humanity
You’re a representation of God Almighty,
Unconditional love,
Not having to do sh*t for you to be given some loving,
Not something you can buy,
Not even with a Biafran shilling.

Hullabaloo

HULLABALOO

I smell thick and red dust
I see dark smokes grow wings
I hear the earth quakes in my stomach
I feel Lucifer's caress on my chest with fire
Mother must be somewhere, beaten and burning

Tens of homeless boys have grown in my head-
they have become touts
and hooligans.
A priest shouted:
'do not be friends with those in the world'
His words took a wrong alley on their skin
They vexed, and set God on fire.

The radio spoke yesterday, and I lost my voice
America launched the mother of all bombs-
on Syria
And Russia has taken a thorny glove
To be their brother's keeper.
Rivers are running into the arms of their banks
And inside their nails is flood.

My brother is biafran
And he was told how his fathers ran from fire
Under a less illuminated day- 
half of a yellow sun.
There is noise in what these choirs sing
There won't be rapture tomorrow-
heaven, hell and earth are cities of confusion.

It Could Have Been Worst

It could have been worst 
So i pray to jah 
Oh jah see the tears on 
The eyes of the poor

See the innocent dead bodies on the streets 

See the cries of our
Beloved mothers 

See the poverty everywhere in africa

See the lack of food
Shelter clothing 
Not to talk of lack of jobs

See darkness everywhere 
No electrcity

See religious discrimination 
killing my brothers and sisters everywhere

See accident every where in my country cos
Of lack of good roads

See the men on black 
And black with their brutality in the name of police killing the innocent 
In the third world

See my people 
In every jail 
In every part of 
The world

See my black beautiful 
Sister turning into 
Prostitute to a normal
Trend for money survival

See my brothers turning 
Crimes as a normal means to survive 

Oh jah i cant ask where 
You are cos i know
You see all that boreders
My country

Am a poor ghetto 
Biafran boy
That believes in your
Supreme intervention 

As now i pray 
Oh jah hear the cries
Of your people 
The peope of biafra
Believe in your devine
Intervention 
If not oh God 
On our struggle for freedom 
It could have been worst
