to catch a glimpse of the past
history locked in tragedy
the broken crime of time
Why can't you live in the present
Shutters open to catch a glimpse
of the past
a tragedy tapestry
you weave depression from...

Political Interventions From AbroadSit there in formations with assumption
Our elected representatives by the nation
From principles of awareness and wisdom
To welcome, the return of common sense
Clad in white from stains of their past

The Last Mile of the WayThe last mile of the way
It is a matter of must
To all and sundry,
Each and every man-jack
Has to walk it.

For one has to say, “Goodbye”
To those he loves.

Ageing ghosting in anguish..
Youth yield to boorishness...
Devilish deed with drugs on a daily..
Daily routine on intoxication...
Inebriate on a highway..

Veneration to worldly pleasures....
Pleasure seekers surround our surroundings
Our souls succumb to sexual...

I Know a CountryI know a country,
With three set of citizens,
The rich,
The well fed slaves,
And the hungry free people.

Where graduates are jobless with buried hopes,
In this country, so many lies told are believed to...

If I remember rightly, someone once said
Enough of all this farce, democracy is dead
So don’t let any of it mess with your head

Chiefs of MischiefsChiefs of mischiefs are-
Vulnerable honourables
Who wear the outfit of oppression
And vicariously dishonourable
Upon putting our nation to recession
Chiefs of mischiefs are-
Magnanimous messengers of doom
Offspring of greed, kindred of impunity,
In conspiracy who prey on our security
Piercing our...

Itches On a Struggling WorldThe government and its people stay on antagonistic sides
but what stimulates the rulers’ infidelity to patriotism

A Child's HomeA child's home
Running in the courtyard
when sun is at its peak,
Harsh voice of grandpa
as he would sneak,
Long hours with friends
as play doesn't tire,
Books don't fascinate
and mother spits fire,
For watering of the garden
we are...

Favouritism Part 2The last poem I submitted here, perhaps in February 2021, can be misunderstood by careless readers. I may be wrong in wanting to sometimes offer pithy poems. If readers are not familiar with the darker...

The RiftWe take up arms against one another,
we engage in mass killing of each other,
yet we’re of the same parents, Adam and Eve.
We kill one another in cold-blooded murder

Glittering like an aigrette of stars,
We believed they were refined gold.
Indeed, they deserve our patriotism and mandate,
Wholeheartedly, we gave...

AuthenticApologetically authentic
Or unashamedly genuine?
I can’t find my glory
Through fake faces and sentiment
But I can’t stride through
If always baring my soul
The what ifs of favouritism
Are hard to fathom
Personally I see the favourites
Find them bland
