If Tumorrow Meets Us Not

Tell them!

Look on to my face
And let fall the secret
We hided in the invisible bier 
Of eternity
When all eyes and ears 
were blinded and deafened
By sleep
Let the vultures 
Of the evil forest 
Spice my body
For a glamorous banquet!

Say it!

I have heard already 
The gossip from the women 
On the way to the stream 
At dawn 
From the Nayiri's gong beater 
I have heard the fearful decree 
And equally,
I have seen 
the spears of monstrous laughter 
Burst the cheeks of our foes

Sister,tell mama,
To weep no more 
For when the stubborn fowl 
Digs deep the ground 
It exposes the bones 
Of its ancestors
The mouse madly 
Went to the cattery 
To buy itself the meat 
Of a kitten 
Love,love,love!
like a cunning fox 
Baited the hungry fowl 
With the meat of a cockroach 
And not could it have resisted 
I knew forbidden 
was the eaten fruit 
But what cause or reason 
Could have the dog 
unleash the juicy bone 

The broadened hips of Nasara 
Made visible by her 
Tight-shortened kente skirt 
Could have made me 
Grill my fingers 
In a wild inferno unawarely 
The sight of her 
ladybird-like skinned beads 
Lustfully stimulated me 
And i would have mounted 
A bull forgetfully 
What of the well-filled erected 
balls on her chest 
That itched my palms always 
For her round botty,
That swayed like a leave 
Quaked by a violent tempest 
Did nearly broke my neck 
For vying with it always 
In each direction it went 

The fearful taboo of chastity
We have smitten 
The womb of Nasara 
Shelters the flesh of my blood 
And there awaits no option 
Other than a bloody execution 
If tumorrow meet us not,
Remember the aged love song 
We sang togather 
When the full white moon 
Came passing 
Remember the soft chorus 
I Joined in with  
That silenced the envious song birds 
The mucus may do it worse 
But never does it go off 
With the nose
I still remain your only cow boy
That robbed you milk and cheese 
And  paid the penalty 
With my bare  back 
That suffered the pains 
Of papa's whip…

Wen Am Gonne

I will go,
Since i'm now called ,
A useless glutton
That only ruin
the meager flesh 
of your barn
And offer to you not
My sinews .

Worry not,
For i will go!
Even my foot prints
i shall carry along.

The crow of the roosters
shall meet me
At my father's old hut
Where you said,
I ate annually.
I will go back 
To where i belong
And where you picked me
May be to the thousand years
Old farm visited by menopause

But it is when i am gone,
You will realize
i was the beast of burden
That loaded  your mountainous
Hunchback!

When i am gone,
My name AFRICA too
Shall forever rest
And my bent_back
Shall be no more 
The table of your feet
When in leisure!
i shall have my mouth
Free off the filth of your anus.

God Was There

God was there!
When you limped secretly 
In to Abochi's hut 
On that silent night 
And forcefully polluted 
Her virgin womb 
With the waste 
Of your foetus 
Making her bleed to dead 

God was there!
When you ripped earth 
And buried that stolen treasure 
Which sent your blind brother 
to the gallows because 
You robbed his innocence too

God was there!
When you stood 
Before the multitude 
With the bloody fetish charm 
around your waist 
And impersonated him 
For wealth 

He was there,
When you warned the people 
To abolish idol worship 
Yet you were a fetish priest 
In the gown of a reverend father 

God was there!
when you poisoned Ebrahem 
Because he won the wrestling bout
And made them stone to death 
Her innoncent wife 
For been a witch 

God was there!
When you rifted 
The clan of ebo 
With the dirty untrue gossips 
You always mongered 

He was there!
When you always plundered 
The wealth of the poor Eko travellers And robbed back the coins 
You always gave the blind begger 

God was there!
when you always masked 
Your face to enter 
The village brothel 
You dubbed the nun(s) monastery 

God was always there 
Do not think 
You were always alone 
He watched you always 

You can cheat man not God!

The Voice of a Fallen Soldier

Here we perished 
For a count'y we so much adored 
But did our dear country loved  us?

No!
For if love our country had for us
Not it would have sent us to war

If our country loved us,
PEACE it would have chosen!
