Long See how the land lies Poems

Of a distant land I ponder.
Of a country torn asunder.
Of Zimbabwe ne'er forgotten -
Where the life has turned so rotten.
Ah it tugs my heartstrings so -
This much loved land so full of woe.

In my dreams...

Body a box, box on wheels for this marble
marble of a mind
sphere of influence
influence on overdrive
slow down your mind
boxing your mind, closed wide
nice and close, closer than before to the undersatnding
of a new prpose, when...

a silver coin placed on your navel rubbing

Clouds walk on the horizon and etch new rivers
 on your body feeding...

A better Nigeria or no Nigeria;
No Nigeria, no better home for us
The Nigeria we deserve crave afar;
Afar our mind race for a better Nigeria.

A flowing river or no river at all;
No river at home we...

The land lies beneath a blanket of snow
The river is frozen and does not flow
The leaves have fallen and the trees are bare
Winter is dressed like a maiden so fair

The land lies beneath a blanket...

N.I.G.G.E.R (Nigeria Is God's Greatest Enunciated Race)

On the road to Africa lies riches & diamond rings,
In the land of green & white & green,
The men with "three eyes" are kings,
Raising above sickening sins that stinks
And...

Silence among enemies,
Means more jobs for spies,
To see how the land lies.

Silence among friends,
Means it is time to build bridges,
Down through the ages.

Silence among Lovers,
Means less need for daily showers,
And hairdryers.

Silence in the Forest,
Means it...

The armada sailed before my 
eyes, crispy autumn leaves in
the evening breeze. Into  the 
mist of the cooling pool, away
on a voyage of serenity
The watching reeds and sedge
wave farewell, the damsel and
the dragonflies in...

THERE IS A LAND

There is a land, always near to me, 
I know so well,
A place, where the cycle of seasons 
Never fails to mark
Each succeeding year 
With its own special course.

When I am far...

The land lies
Chilled and stilled.
Whether flatlands
Or rolling hills.

Damp, cold, and alone;
She doesn't feel at home.

It's hard to feel at home
Where warmth and purpose seem
To be in decline or have departed.

The land knows that she was...

Here up and down, and up……and down I gaze.
The rain has fallen, the ground is still dry.
The words were spoken, the ground is still dry.
I was deceived by the innocent appearance of my youth!

I spent...

The lush of the land lies as velvet moss green carpet
The river rushing its morning wash
rumbling as it spins twisting and turning its tidal path
over the chance carried stones to the seas
Where the coastal sands...

Winter has come
water banks freeze
colorful sun
drift away please.
smoke forest calm
not a sound made
frost covered palms
snowy mountain fog fades.

Little marshmallow snow drops
arrive and fall, come with me we'ell ascend
through the cocoa plants stunned crops
the coldness, old...

The land lies in waiting,

and although it is dry,

there is water near by.

Riches are in the soil,

held there by the parchedness,

parch with water a few feet away.

In a canal going to other lands,

some of the...

Land lies long away, 
A place where peace will be,
Where water ebbs and sways, 
Where my soul is kissed with tides of sea.

A place where night is orange-red, 
Where seagulls play in shade of water’s...

Roman mosaics and Phoenician tombs 
Byzantine castles and Venetian walls 
Pine clad mountains and valleys full of blooms
Windswept wild beaches raked by sudden squalls
Vineyards...
