Emmanuel Ejim Poem
Living in my little world
That cannot be illustrated by word
I didn't choose myself neither did you
Who should be blamed my parents or who
At sunrise I thought it was normal
Young black boy now realises it's a pommel
Why do they hate me I said
Not my fault hence my color fade
Now sunset but still can't change
I'm a black boy not that strange
Change they say starts with one man
Plea for acceptance, I know you can
Let's all live in peace in same little world
Nature made us different still from same source

Emmanuel Ejim Poem
Dear God, I tried communicating and it seems you no longer near
All pains I go through day and night you don't seem to care
I've been left out here no real friend only you dear God
Just hear me out I pray, lest I go odd
Just tell me God, why is life very uncertain?
I struggle all day still come back home with total nothing
Can I know dear God, why the world you created so cold?
They said we were created in your image still suffering hold
I lost hope the first time but I was told to have faith
If I continue poor, I guess my friends will have no choice than hate
I'm now short of word, so I shout dear God
Help me now, hence my sins I can't afford
( A conversation with God enquiring about world uncertainties, why human are left to face what we are facing, the curiosity to know why there's suffering in my world)

Emmanuel Ejim Poem
Oh known terror!!
You've made man look so full of error
Man's end, less three score and ten
The wise tortoise watch and learn
Forbidden to hug friends from hood
Face covered even on happy mood
It's truely a terror, cause the world speaks of it
More to come,even more than we can eat
We all thought it will end in one
Rather more to come science warn
Some foresaw it but only pray
Imagine me dinning on vaccine tray
Oh known terror
Can you let me shake my old friend fear-free?

Emmanuel Ejim Poem
Once friends, now foe
We are now fighting
Fighting for space
One, An oppressor
The other a small territory
I thought we are friends?
The deeply oppressed said
A rebel replied the oppressor
I can see the world watch from a distance
I can see the tears of innocent citizens
Infants walking down miles for survival
The street littered with helpless toys
Children too busy to play
The oppressor pushes, the weak struggle
No hiding place for the antelopes
For the lions have come to dine in the field
No refuge for the immigrant
For they are not worthy to survive
Who should be judged for the great loss
When government only calculate losses
Can we embrace peace and save the future
I plea for mercy, let's stop the war
Let's stop Russia, Ukraine war
