THE EVILS OF RACISM
I 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 SOCIETY
Writing 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 Lesser Of Two Evils
The Lesser Of Two Evils
(Always Gets My Vote)
Miracle Man
10/7/2024
What once were blatant lies,
are now merely, “I misspoke.“
Are us non degree folks stupid,
or is it another political joke?
Politicians tour the country smiling,
shaking hands and grooving.
But a clue to their “misspeaking”,
they’re lips are always moving.
While they may put us in classes,
seeing us as either sheep or

Evils
Evils
Money-hungry xenophobic cruelty
Automated psychopath robots
Lustful murderous tendencies
White cloaks, expensive sedatives
Human values and hopes are dead
Trampled and discarded religions
Disgusting psychology thrives on life - there
Alcohol and medicine are the life here -, it’s psychological
Created by celebrated world professors
Success, money, and career are on their side
Suffering, depression, and pain in my side
Hopelessness and abandonment on our side…

Is it because there are too many people wishing to be devils?

Two Evils
What will you do?
If you have to choose --between two evils
One on the left and
one on the right
One will make you lose your soul
And the other your heart...

Are They Evils
Are they evils?
Human that eats animals for survival,
Shark who eats his own skin and the
Night eating up the blue skies
Are they all evils?
Are they cruel?
Fishes that eat worms,
Lions that hunt deers and
the wolf who chases its
wandering prey,
So as to feed its empty stomach
Please! Bring me closer to their cruelties.
Before day breaks
the night

Human Perception
Human perception can vary from man to man
The mist may give us a beautiful scenery
In a strange place it looks like hiding evils and scandals
In politics it is a misty paradox to be revealed
In education we have to clear the misty puzzle
A life of ignorance is like wandering in mist and having a muddle
A misty

Communication
COMMUNICATION
Leaps and bounds of progress made
In this modern world,
As we speed around the earth
Electronic darts are hurled.
Communing with our fellow beings
Seems to be the trend,
Yet has this brought us real peace
Or will it bring the end?
Until each one communes with God,
Forgets his self and pride,
And learns to

The Mist
Early daybreak
The mountainous areas
Still shrouded in mist
The sceneries cloaked
The surroundings look ghostly misty
Sunrays blocked
By mountains and trees
Difficult to see the road ahead
With the car's light on
A thick light
Penetrates through the mist
To give us some clear views
Before the mist finally lifted
By the sunrays
The mist just looks like

My Eyes
My eyes are getting old
But not my feelings
Cataract is forming
And so my inspirations growing
I see life and its styles
I see people and things
Nature and the surroundings
I feel their existence
I am grateful
I see goodness more than evils
I have dreams more than frights
I see poems, art pieces
Philosophy, religions and human nature
I see incidences and disasters
I

The Evils of Crt
They sat home ordering luscious pizza.
Some just drank cold beer or snorted pot.
Nothing was “ really” going to happen!
As they rode unicorns, this lost, hapless lot.
Stoned efficaciously, by the likes of CNN.
America haters, all, each last one of them.
And we citizens buy their “merde”daily.
Will grovel on the earth, cracking jokes
about the future.
Have you forgotten Hitler

Death of Silence
Vroom! The loudest noise echoes the night
Construction starts.
The night is shaken by booms and bangs
Of trucks, of heavy machines!
To have a road, a smoother wider road
The path to peaceful sleep is shaken
The ears cry of pain
The head pains in sigh.
No soul is asleep,
The once peaceful village
Is now plagued by noise.
The jolly cuckoo is frightened,
It stops

Veil of Gray
ALL is done for me, I've lost my game of life,
I've no worth and I guess I shall live my rest in rife
"Hey leave me 'lone & carry on with yaself!
Y'understand huh?!" I say to my kin
"Oh! I could have made it beautiful"
"Wowowoohoo! I had my Elixir plentiful!
Oh yeah!"
But I let it stay,
Hid it
