Long Conspicuously Poems

Damian Stood in the Hugh room
Surveying the expansiveness of
The place. "Yeah, this will be a
Imperial family event in my house.

There were two large tables 
The capacity was almost 
Immeasurable....

The cockroaches left me a wake up message
Written with saliva and excrement

DRAW A LINE

When hot lead tears the flesh of a 14 year old girl,

ripping through her skull,
leaving her to bleed out and die,

does Allah not recoil...

They curled around me and taunted me, examined me carefully with their hands so that they could...

Addendum

The prerequisites have been established.
The requirements have been met.
The struggles have been suppressed.
The strife is the burden that coexists.
Now when it is time to make a transition,
We must not ignore that
The United States Constitution is...

Why am I losing grip of reality? Tragedy cuts me like a knife
Trying with my might to believe…that peace will prevail
That God’s Rain can relieve the heartaches of life…and eventually, it will drown away the...

I'll tell you, my reader, that I should admit:
There's someone whom I would be happy to meet
(While dreaming because I can't do otherwise) -
The master of kung fu, the legend I prize.

Meticulously Marvelous
My friend is meticulous
He handles everyone
With extreme care.
If you choose 
To follow Him
You'll be cured
From the blues
At any time 
You need Him
He's always there
He loves unconditionally
He has many followers
He handles the world's
Problems meticulously
Which much...

Imagine.....
Scrunched lazily in a bed of your chosen leaves each and every night
To pacify your senses in the richness of earthy-scented legacies
Our ecstasy would prompt our dreams to drift away the moonlight
In nature's cupboard saturating...

Southern Kaduna bleed,
The sad Reality with Lamentation, 
Months with mockery 
Philanderer is second to non,
Men follow slim skimpy skirts
Rather than skills acquisition,
Graduate drink to stupor, 
Children smoke weeds 
and burn their dreams to ashes..

The Sad...

Self-imprisonment
Is the worst form
Of punishment
Still, it is not out of the norm
To find a tiny bee hummingbird
Ruby Zoom, hidden inside a double-glazed display cabinet
One can think or fathom how absurd
It is to be imprisoned in...

Polar Bear's Snowball in Hell


there's ten polar bears sitting on an iceberg
a few hundred years from now
their big brave eyes scared, resigned
conspicuously looking out at the horizon
proud once, now sad
the setting sun quickly vanishing, ominous

Whichever softens you to give the vote
Suddenly their schedule isn't as busy
And their telephone lines now go through easy
Suddenly their office doors swing...

Recital / free verse / Pride

Expectation rushes in
As her silent walk begins
All eyes staring
Watching for a hint of emotion
But none revealed
As she takes her place among the muses

No one breathes as her studious eyes
Examine the...

Let's say we have capitulated 
yes, let's say we have succumbed
to their whimsical naivété and inane wisdom
Let us assume that it is all phoney
that it is a bogus hoax-filled folklore
We shall now pretend that we...

WATER DOWN LEAVES

Water down leaves with Autumn’s spirited cold,
Until hands shiver, and lips are glossed a balmy-blue ~
Where every oak and maple leaf turns conspicuously old.

Green leaves, lavished in the summer of love, unfold
A windfall,...
