Daniel Femi-Alemede Poem
I wandered the world
And searched for lost souls to forgive
The Lost patriotic souls,
Found in the brightness of stupidity,
We had no cause to war,
We hardly survived the peace
I fought in the revolution and assisted the slavery
Married the genocide!!!
I killed a relative
And slaughtered a nun
We had no enmity
Only that that our diplomats breed
In this selfless show of stupidity
War holds no sagacity

Daniel Femi-Alemede Poem
55 is the sum of consecutive numbers from 1 to 10
55 is a semiprime
55 is the 2nd member of the semiprime family
55 is a natural number
55 Cadillac, an album by Andrew W.K
55 is the name of a song by Kasabian
55 years of infancy
55 years of manhood
55 years of inconsistency
55 years of consistency
From hope to despair
From despair to hope
Nigeria at 55
55 years of independence
55 is beyond jubilee

Daniel Femi-Alemede Poem
The pain of Paine
Is that a man serves a nation
So that freedom may be obtained
That a man opposes his mother
So that the colony may be free
That what is right is not wrong
And the wrong of the leaders not right
That one opposes his friend
To release the colony
That one dies
And is buried as if one was unknown
As if one was no hero
Who would attend the burial of Paine
When his values drove his ill-willed friends
Made his enemies unite
Paine your pain is great
You now lie peaceful
With no pen
With no sword
Set to rotten
It may have hurt you to know
That you were treated as green boots
No pageantry
No military display
No civic procession
Paine your pain is great

Daniel Femi-Alemede Poem
I checked my last two poems
Then I searched for understanding
But then I realised the love
The poem allows for ignorance
The lack of understanding
The disobedience of language
Its rules and colons
Its commas or decision
That is my love
The ignoble is now the monarch
Where are the rules of language
They are lost in rancour
That the message is passed
There is my love

Daniel Femi-Alemede Poem
We all can write a poem
It is as your inspiration emanates
Set the sheet
Write the first word
It may be about nature
Or the thought of rapture
Set the sheet
Write the fifth word
It may be about violence
Or sympathies with the assaulted one
Set the sheet
It may be about the sword
Try and see through
Yes, through the lens of the witty one
No one can write a poem
It is as thy gait
