Our Hope

the riverbanks
Lies our treasures
Our hope and fears
Explored in exploitation
People hurting people

We thought  the europeans
Our only plights
We feared but hated them
In our innocent ignorance,
Of what we learnt at a glance
they battered  and stole our sleep
With guns

But years after they are  gone
Our lives has been worse 
and no one cares
How we fare
Because you don't hear us cry
Like it's in syria
Hmmm!
Yet worst things are done behind scenes.

Our moments of joy?
That we share with  the sky
When no one hears them
Playing kids on weekend days
Bombed into ripples
And sunday worshippers turned to ashes
For God to take control

Heaven must be full by now
With my black brothers
In plenty numbers  
Yet in our hearts
Lies the hope
As we we go close
To our hundreth year
Of self reign.

Debris At the Golden Gates

Tainted wits... blurred in 
clarity, 
a madman's coronation... our 
country's plight. 
atlas, we are home, choked in 
parity 
another to our last 51, the 
journey's so far. 
can we break the walls? 

This imagination, a shattering 
throne. 
when city's celebrate a 
thousand birth-years, 
then we recollect another 
bloodshed... 
52 million heads in 52 dying 
years. 
what a shame! 

My country of birth 
civilized cannibals, through 
kingdoms of ancient gods 
to masquerades in 
government house...our 
golden gates. 
BOKO HARAM? lies. 
another lie, 

Can of worms... debris at the 
golden gates, 
At 27,I look older than my 
country's age 
what years of tears had done 
to my teenly skin, 
my skipping heart would have 
been younger in Queensland. 

Another death rate 
on our golden birth...52? 
decades of misuse... reckless 
abandonment, 
while the slim pigs eats 
porridge, 
fattening to unconsciousness in 
American clinics 
once parading as good 
Shepherds, we are all gone, 
pocketted in their fat pockets. 
52 years of ferocious reigns, 
when he's gone.. 
yet another one 
Olusegu..abach, babangi, 
jona... No calling names, 
Yet they all wear the same 
masks. 
Maggots at the golden 
gates...snakes at the states 
secretariates, 
traditional money-bags... 
nothing is left to cry for. 
we are finished dry... 
the tears are all gone... 
though not fools, we only 
watch.

Watching the African Girl

Come with me and see
the perfection
and beauty
of African girl...
as she walk uphills,
water keg on her head
well kept,
on wool braided hairs
without hair-do- 
flashing like shining coal.

Beautiful in swinging hips,
all alone from the busy 
stream.

For fear of rain drawing close,
she gave her foot a running 
tap,
so as to carry in swift,
her athletic built fast home-
only for her claymade keg
to fall and break,
and loose button shirt
fly sideways
to expose the dangling 
breasts.

Unashamed of the nearing 
foots,
she knelt down low
to pack her loss,
giving you time for a sensual 
view,
yes, 
i saw you take your time,
that your throbbing heart had 
done this ill.

See your eyes bright and well 
fixed,
examining the precious 
breasts...
Dark, 
ripe and smooth like asian 
banana.
Breathless,
your desiring lips,
as you watch her nipples stark 
erect,
tingling,
ready for a childly suck,
i knew your desire,
looking down beneath her 
belly to see -
the insanity of Italian man.

They love them much,
African girl.
I'm gone,
yet standing, you still watch-
the backside of her darkly 
form...
as she desolves into
the green farmland.

The rain starts so strong
and
the wind whistling
reminding you it's time to go 
home...
You got ground-stucked,
passers-by wondering why,
as tired trees
bends to let us pass.

The Emigrant

here they come,
with batons made of the white 
mans wits,
with the sounds of our ancestral 
thunders,
all in different shapes.

marvelled we were,
seing them fly in the air,
and some down on moving 
huts,
faster than our forefathers 
ghosts,

he shouted a command,
they attacked...
we retreat,
then we attacked.

we attacked,
yes! a karmikase,
kpa! kpaa! kpaaa! 
tuue! tuee!,
duum! duum!. That was the 
sound of their machine power.

dead!
we all layed dead.
they sketched and exploited our 
land,
then they left,
yes they did
with our land left barren.
