Jimmy Godwin Poem
A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
Her face was a constellation of perfections
She was ravishing; beautiful beyond condemnation.
Her voice was like many water
Yet, it's coo whenever she sputtered.
Her gait was just so alluring
No wonder men couldn't help but kept gazing.
She trod on her pathway like a goddess -
This woman I saw was priceless.
Even her dance step sent signals to heavenly bodies
The immortals were mesmerized - she was more than a novice.
The flexibility of her body was as a swift wind
It moved so fast, it could not be filmed.
When she sang, it was like that of an angel
Kingdoms let loosed: heaven, earth and hell
In her eyes, you'd see paradise
In her world, great men and women did arise
There was ample concinnity in her kingdom
Everything was cloudless, no entrenchment of freedom
She also spoke with authority and with great audacity
Owning to her greatness, she created a brawny fraternity
Loosed men and women longed to have her by their side
'Sorry, I'm not your type' she did chide
They tried to restrain, but they were so much in love
Her being angry at them only waxed their hearts together in her glove
Men of great status came to have her
They were with their luxuries - they came from afar
The splendour of her beauty got them sprawling to the floor
The radiance of her look made their visions blur
In her, greatness was defined
There are so many traits of hers which can't be outlined
She kept her statute; she was a woman of virtue
Her works were known, they reached their plateau
Of a truth, this woman is a goddess
And this makes me remember the game of chess
At the end, the king and queen are brought to rear
So also is this woman I saw. Her name is Nigeria.

Jimmy Godwin Poem
Slowly but steadily it came
Like a thief in the night, it gently crept in
Owing to her ignorance
It found it way through the loophole
It came while she yet slumber
She claimed to be prepared yet,
So unprepared was she.
This was her loophole
'Oh my' she exclaimed
'How could I be so careless?' she'd asked herself
She was aghast at the whole incident
Villainy is taking over morality
Carefully, it has set its jurisdiction
Placing officials in different regions
It has rubbed her face with red earth
Like a masquerade going out for a ceremony
Some of her children are now on a journey
A great journey of no return
Many are being held captives in their home
They have been sequestered from her
She is now in a state of devastation
'Well, this has come to pass' she said
The others need to be protected
So, she preaches this message: 'Sanitize Yourself! Ebola is real'
