Daniel Okafor Poem
Looking back at the times
one can`t help but wonder
ceaseless urge to upgrade
modification of age grade
From cradle to golden
spoon golden or wooden
recognition in the making
without a second thinking
Burning candle the alternative
viewing stardom the motive
shunning every story
to give birth the glory
Still i have a story
but lo` it`s a success story!

Daniel Okafor Poem
of all the wonders of life in my time
some documentary,history,commentary and mystery
some told of,others heard of,noon seen of
be it fairy tale,moon light tale or bed side tale
ALL after the taste,this taste,one taste
he that seek knowledge ha shall find
is it for the records or for mere fun?
that you can sacrifice candles and the night
futures are made or marred at night hours
so what you read will lead
a second look and thought will make the difference
judging the look of things you've been long on this path
why aren't you part of the fat?
oh,maybe you are among the thinking side
the heart that pumps the life without seeing the light
have you heard of any stories of you predecessors?
of one,two,three or more of same fate
learn from them,hope it won't divert your line
everyone needs a model,an example and mirror fellow
now why the enthusiasm?if the base be this little

Daniel Okafor Poem
Should i stand or i should fall?
i have been capped by one so dear
south turned i what for?
the moonlight play is done
who will dance tonight?
oh you will do just fine with those tiny legs of yours
they look like grandpa's walking stick
laughs more laughs,even more
they are hot legs!
if you don't like 'em mother does
oh how my head aches
so much play, talk, and hate
food is ready
that i will do in the morrow
to my bed bamboo or water care i not
buckets strikes,voice pitched
cock crows. wake up!
as i was thinking-saying
