In higher institution,
Burning candles.

Graduated with honors, got no job,
Searching daily,
Fed up.

Tears rolling down, he is pained,
Remember him,
This I plead....

Suffering because of unemployment,
believing in government’s empty promises.
A meaningless hope on a janus-faced entity
governing sadistically.

A Tallying Bongo
And Packs of Sweet Ringo:
Guess his dog’s name: Bingo!

So, it’s A Luke Banjo,
In his life lots of - go
And a single lone – jo!...

With a mind focused

Searching for delighted sparkle
With dreams larger than Africa

TREES
We grow bright and beautiful 
We strong like iroko
No matter how we are cut
We sprout out more
Looking glamorous and bold
We smile with our green leaves
Truthful like the branches
We dare not go bare
Like the fig tree
We are casted to grow 
No matter what
We even settle to become a forest
I am proud to be a tree 
I am proud to be a Nigerian...

Farmers, too, might not escape hell
For acting Bad Drama too well,
Price of oil raising as they sell
Daring one to on TV tell...

Nigerian Farmers for hell,
Their forests for now Tortoise Shell
Their bank account something to swell
Cool Six Zeroes they want to smell
But, at last, with Satan in cell...

Edible oil now expensive,
Buyers now pick it, looks pensive...

Slowly he rolls the tyre,
to and fro,
with his pants on,
Laughing with his other 
counterparts,
His dirty pants,
Shown in the noon,
Like a rag,
He saw his mother,
And shouted,
Mother!
Where is my father?
Where did he go?
when will he come back?
When will i wear a shirt?
When will i sleep on a bed?
When will there be light?
Where will there be water 
from our taps?...

PEOPLE   I   WILL    NEVER    BE

  
A pregnant woman  -  cos I’m a man
President of Nigeria   - only a Nigerian can  
A tall blonde model   - cos short and dark with deep tan
Dancer at Folies Bergere  -  cos   I can’t  can-can
A sex symbol  - on my picture would be an aesthetic ban
Some  health nut…....I never eat my breakfast bran
Singing star…....with my voice, my wife’s  my only  fan...
