Best Poems Written by Ishmael Ogbechie

Land of Worry

Give me a keg of palmwine
That I may drink to my demise

For to die is gain and to live is pain
In a land not sorry for our worry
Like a toddler cruising in a lorry

Our lords sailing on the yacht 
Driven by the waves of poverty 
Gulping glasses of champagne 
Squashed from the grapes of agony

Lords eating fried lies and check-ins
While we ride on a trolley down a bumpy gully
To shatter our broken piece to bit pieces
