No Woman , No Cry
The bags under her eyes are very heavy,
You call them her luggage

Her cry cries out,

Tribute To Bob Marley
Did you ever Roberto Nesto … the reggae maestro
Decorating rocks in the ghetto … children’s falsetto
Rising for liberation from tenures of poverty
Logwood lit from the shredded ash of ganja smoke
Rising to rinse the heart of...

Think Well My Fellow Nigerians
The interview at Chatham House gave me a pill that's hard to swallow
Against what some apologetics think is straight and narrow
Cos BAT didn't want to follow other's footsteps in anything
He decided to walk all of...

Value of Helping Others
The saddest, maddest children usually find their way to my office.
I am the school counselor.
They arrive on their own, knocking, or just running in.
I always ask if they have permission.
Some do, many do not.
They need...

Sing, Ye Lovers of Song
Ye lovers of song,
musically inclined,
Sing loud, Sing now,
All the birds of the earth are listening
while we sing all over the world.
Sing like
...the mockingbird
where the weeping willows wave.

They opined that our progress won’t be NEAR
They said among our peers, we would be REAR
Maliciously they instilled in us a kind of FEAR
Even our...

Simple Gratitude
Whining wailers never know when,
opportune moments ever begin.
An angry man hath his eyes closed,
not a bit of triumph ever he knows.
I smile and nod my gratitude,
to vets in wheelchairs "in their...

Texas Lullaby
Night air grew warm and stiflin’
And the lightnin’ flashed the sky—
As night herders sang those notes
Of the “Texas Lullaby.”
The notes came low and trembled—
Wailers did not yell or shoot—
Their voices rose on high now
To quiet...

The Best Christmas
I had so much fun to be with you!
You were wearing shirts in all color blue.
We threw crumpled paper like we’re six graders,
We ran and shouted like those elephant wailers.
Remembering 18th when we played those...

The Single Born
The single born,is like cowslip
Blooming freshly
In a winter-garden
Potent and virile aside
Waiting for watering can
To water it and avail coolly.
The single born,fled rivals away
Boon blithely in a bullion
Just as the only Navel in the quarter
Buffet his...

Whole Lotta Nothing
There's not a whole lotta nothing
That can be dug out of the grave
Of this life's buried problems
Of all our past mistakes
You can chisel out the tombstone
Making room for all the dates
Of the didn't go...

Hues of Our Lives
Celebration is our nature
A distinction of pleasure
Activities of leisure
In a full count of measure.
Everybody is celebrating
With nobody distracting
For everyone is understanding
So no one is obstructing.
Gathered in the...

Lawists
As mini-bus taxis fly by left
In the entrepreneur’s lane, yellow
Victims bereft
The grief of the loss
Mere smelter’s dross
As a new world is crafted
From cracked pot-shards
The wailers at the service
Ululate the grief
As passers-by watch and...
