Long Mogul Poems

I don’t have the financial muscle
To wrestle the American State President intellectually
If the truth be told ;
I don’t have half enough in my savings account
To ridicule the financial dry seasons I went through to this...

The late night storm rushed into the valley,
Pouring down, 
Creating the sleepy ambiance only a mountains lull can provide.  
The crisp damp air crackles to life at lights first caste over the mountain,
into the...

Will I be a cleric or a pastor?
I 
I think of be a priest in Catholic Church,
All allies & helpers cry
Yes, my fiancée said I dared not,
 I awe her logic of rejects me to...

THE STRANGER MAN (2)

They who posses tire
out and loose more
in keeping.
As homeowner never
have I felt at home
But closer home as
squatter and
settler.
The crop man crops
his way through
life,
The dry cleaner
cannot subdue the
muck;
The well heeled
can’t afford inner
balm with...

Donald trump = pathological psychopath

Fred Trump taught his sole son Donald 
how to steal the leading way into more ass, 
though no hint given, nor prediction forecast 
in his growing up years, that would foretell,...

I was beyond bereft!
With very little money, sure, we had a small place.
But no cash nor tree nor presents nor food were to 
be.
I cried a lot, so did my daughter.

I prayed very hard for...

The former blond model pouts and primps
Swinging her hips
Down the splashing catwalk of shoreline
Sand caving to her imagined heels

Wheeling to her awaiting Israeli mogul
Her shoulders set so far back
It’s as if she’s walking backwards

Puts herself...

Fatigued,  I'm ok though. I
Think I should lie down. Molly
Followed Dolly to the master
Bedroom upstairs. Dolly 
Confessed her heart To Molly
"Molly I love Damian soo much.
He is...

And now's as good a time as any to tell you this:
I don’t feel regret if it was right for me at the time 
We spend so...

Cold front brings August respite
upon cusp of autumn quite
natural palliative to forget monetary plight
relieving spate of dog days of summer
seasonal crisp balm appeared overnight
evidenced of late by Jeeves

cool temperatures at night
temporarily bumping ugly

The headlights were upon me, with no time to react
My mind and body shut down, so I never felt the hard impact
I remembered not using my seatbelt; I didn’t want to wrinkle my new suit

Dressed in green, plants and trees grow
Roads of red clay, joining paved highways
Dry and dusty, wet and muddy 
Walking shops, sleeping vendors
Basket of fruits, bin of vegetables
Mother of foods, server of nations

Flocked Churches, packed Mosques...

I’ll sing you dream songs
that last as long as the hills
but know this my love
it’s fullness IS
the striving of our wills

Against the darkness
that has crept stealthily
into the hearts of man
I cannot describe
this latent longing
to rest...

His gold teeth glistened in the sun
As ‘Long Ben Avery’ turned
To face his captives, head lowered,
Their providence to learn

For Avery was a pirate bold
Trained in the Kings’ Navy
Who, disillusioned with his lot,
Captained a mutiny

He seized...

Within the depths of my mind I wanna hide
Towards the far corners of my heart I'll run inside
To escape this evil world and it's malicious divide
And to escape the people with far too much ego,...

I didn’t see Alhaji Sule, the big contractor
Though he is a sponsor with a huge stake in government.
I didn’t see Chief Ade the financial banker
Though he is well-versed on political palavers.
I didn’t see Mazi Eze...

Bring back 
Take the hatred but 
Bring back the love 
Take the wars but 
Bring back peace
Go away with your lie but 
Bring back the our resources 
Don't come with your manipulation
Bring back the truth...

The curse of verse, at worst subversive,
Cursive, ad lib, tragic,
The means defines scenes, supreme beings let off steam,
Beauty queens daydream of magic.

Sense of place, being part of the tribe,
Strangers for whom, in that moment, we'd...

EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY:

It's totally been a tough month,
To put myself up to try.
Smiled all day with open mouth,
But later turning into cry.
Holding on to fight,
Through this big plight.
It's truly been so tight,
And I nearly lost...

A DAY TO REMEMBER
(COVID 19)

It is said everyday,

When God created this land,

He visited the land everyday,

He returned every night to rest as his demand,

One month for a dozen to another chapter, darkness covered the entire...

What the paper said

A newspaper I sometimes read is not happy
that billionaires dabble in politics 
the paper is partly right; especially if the rich 
The person who thinks about it is not liberal.
People who are successful in...

Squinting towards the lens, pressed fingers poised
Patter of shutters point to ample publication
Greater than any citizens' optimised hopes
Helicopter swept, high stake hustling self opinion

Gratuitous frog mouth catches fools, sticky tongue lashings 
Golf club strolling, silver...

old songs, tired poems,
languid in clotted veins,
human condition, 
artistic renditions, 
nose-to-tail in ruts carved deep, 
of older stories, 
of blood, 
of heartache, 
of tragic mistakes,
the greed of the caesar, 
pales beside tomorrow's smirk of the...

She laughs within herself,
pride swelling with each rise 
and fall of her breast.
Her evil tongue splitting 
in many directions,
it casts poison onto the standby
caught up in the façade
of nuance.
Feeding on the false
implications of “right” and
