 Unless my color is my being
Been birth and born
Shackled dragged and torn

And when he reasoned, his words sublime brought heavenly climes
Dance from plantation...

Clad in his double-breasted royal toga
Filled of nothing but pride and anger
His face as grim as a Pallbearer’s
His gaze dreadful and fearful like that of 
A raging rattlesnake about to strike
His eyes crackling charcoal fire-red

I had evaporated from
My abode in Samonda
Only to condense in Iwo road.

Behold !an old haggard
Tattered looking...

Night falls 
Bats & owls rule in the darkness; 
When will dawn be born?
When will Soja-man count 
Counting the myriad of his booties 
On the wounds of my Africa?

When darkness...

the nightmare before

As blood hunting critters, applaud our woeful quivering
By fiendish fireworks and guns souls bleed
All for a dotty tenet; an eerie greed
To gratify such unwholesome belief
Hence, stir souls...

Ama you are a father 
Father my father
Whose basket of fishes
Sweetened my mother’s dishes
Whose naked feet danced
The jungle drum you drummed.

Those joyous days
When like brooding hens
You employed your hands
To shield the...

MY TEACHER AND I
My teacher has taught me many things
He seems to have known all
But the problem with him is his unstableness
In ideas and truths
He said if asked a car to drop me;

And towards my homestead
Near those aging banks of the Niger
I feel the disturbing songs
Of drummers announcing...
