London
Shoreditch clung to its ruin
Its roughhewn gate staring out at corpses
And the clutch of travellers heading from the fields,

Thudding on the stones. Amongst them the knights...

A Business Poem

For newly wedded pairs’ perfume.
Or lilies, the Persian young lovers would secretly present their bashful beloveds.
Or could process the early-ripening fallen apple,
Foreigners would slowly have
Seeing the fiery sun...

A belt of blue cheese at the feet
Makes the mountain beyond Bachuma gate
Glow in that mysterious hues that all distant
Mountains carry upon their crooked humps
A wall behind which the Mombasa sun sheepishly hides
Until the...

One lone island rocky and with mountain that’s steep
Extends...

The Cry of a Wounded Nigerian
Nigeria my beloved home is under siege:
A death trap I see in her third mainland bridge.
The crying blood of the slain in the North-east

Humans with hearts of beasts ravage her North-west,

Electron Herders
Electron herders,
that's us. It began

The first organic computers
using polymerase and qubits
came later. Weaponry
via numbers, words
magically appearing,

immediately depleted
our resources were,
antibiotics were...

Each Galaxy has its Guardians
Constantly on watch and patrol,
Spread throughout the Universe
Each a part of a disparate whole.

Making their endless journeys
Through vacuum’s constant night,

Not My Business

Wole-ola wailed home from the farm,
hot on the heel of his father's maimedness.

Frolicking With Friendly Goats
Friendly goats are holding me hostage today.
They are hop-dancing in my yard; they want to play!

“Come on!” shouted the big brown one, “We plan to stay.”

Anywhere But Here
Serpents slither here. Scorpions hide beneath our bed spreads.
Spiders, bugs, sticks, ants, and centipedes occupy our beds.
We have coasts. But what use of these? They burn with sultry heat.
Pirates sail to our harbours with their...
