To surpass the natives in numbers
folks in their cribs -through-hearse stages,
trusting like kids, a burnished sky, blue-white,

with his fishing lines?
Casting off metaphors
worms of vitriol
hooked and dipped,
he’s so green backed
rolling in grandiose
self published flack
unhip and seasoned

Country Church Nestled In the Wilderness
A country church nestled in a peaceful valley,
Against a glorious backdrop of tall mountains,
That were fashioned before Eden’s retched malady,
That beset the human soul and rich surroundings.
Beautiful dog-wood trees with blossoms snowy white,
Bounded by...

Passionate Hours At Palolem Sands Goa
I glimpse the tidal waves, rise high,
Sweaty brows drip, a dry.
surf boarders and dipper are so many,
dolphin rides touts coerce you for just a few penny.

The nation is very rich indeed
But,
Wounded out of loss direction;
Wounded out of lack of ambition,
Weeping out of lack of impulse;
Wounded out of lack of imagination,
Ingeniously exhumed...

Streets of Juhu, Mumbai
On the streets of lively Mumbai,
Close to the sandy Juhu,
They serve Chaat and Masala Chai,
To make your heart go Yoohooo!!
The English, Locals and Arabs!
Jews, Africans and Chinese!
Gather to the aroma of the herbs,
And to relish...

The Dominis

material things, emotional needs, self-respect;
humanity today is wrought, from birth

I Witnessed It
Horrible smash of broken bottles,
Blood gush from young touts' bodies,
Nauseating odour of marijuana, grass,
Spoiled that Monday evening.
I witnessed it,
A deadly fracas erupted,
Between two rival teenage cultists,
At Asarailu's son naming ceremony.
Asarailu cult group had launched,
A...

Fried Chicken
Durin' my nearly four-score years I've had many a grand repast,
But there's one delicacy that will never, ever be surpassed!

Dreadly Earth, Heavenly Hope
Wailing like the sails of a trouble boat
Upon the sea amidst a storm, like clouds
Silent screams, like the stirred souls we can’t hear
But heaven is my hope
Unsure of T’where, like wood that is afloat
Not it...

I've traversed Kansas more times than I care to remember,
In the searin' heat of August and the chilly cold of December.

But bless my soul - there...

Murder of Africa
MURDER OF AFRICA
Mother,
Mother of the black race,
Behold your children,
Dead and dying,
Not even a broken hope,
Can their withered hands grope?
Mother,
Mother of Africa,
See your children.
Scattered and tattered,
Refugees in their ancestral tomb,
Where dreams die in the womb.
Mother,
Mother...

Lagos Metropolis
Early to rise
late to lay,
business minded people
who barely slay;
best of friends with traffic
who make their day.
Clicking show glasses of Ghana bons
with schoolers ready to buy;
Athletic traffic sellers who could
catch up a bus at 120
A metropolis

Your hallowed chamber shuts its doors
Against our constricted faces
As our feet endure heated floors
Because of a million cases
Before your oath, we gave the votes
In spite of sweltering coercions
But now your tongue tags...

A warrior by nature as summer grew in sultry heat,
