AFRICA
Africa! A land of many nations,
Full of cultural heritage,
Endowed with untapped attribute,
Has been present since the stone age.
A continent built on a strong basement,
Gifted with natural endowment,
The Niger river of Nigeria,
The Kilimanjaro Mountain of Tanzania.
Africa! Rich in mineral deposit,
The oil wells of Nigeria,
And the copper deposite
Located in north Rhodesia.
Nile river of Egypt,
Orange River of South Africa,
Indeed Africa is blessed,
What an awesome craft of God.

HEAVEN SENT
BY MARVIN UGORJI
Now I know you are a heaven sent,
You have been with me,
All these past year,
Without me lending you an ear.
You are a heaven sent,
Cos you keep me strong,
Whenever the road is too long,
And also when I go wrong.
You are a heaven sent,
Cos whenever I'm tired of life,
You deliver me from my strife.
Now i know you can be a wife.
You are heaven sent,
That is why I will never again,
Feel anything call pain,
Or any type of strain.

HANDSOME AND THE MERMAID
In a remote village
There lived a handsome boy
That has come of age
He likes to play toy.
One day, he sat on a tree buttress
Near a beautiful river
Resting after taking his bath
In the river.
He awoke a mermaid
Which lives inside the river
Where he took his bath
He stood shivering when he saw the mermaid.
The mermaid told him to marry her
And the boy replied
“You are half human and half fish”
So how can I marry you?

POLITICAL FIGHT
This is a political fight
It is always a horrific night
It is all about the power fight
And it is making our parties tight.
Don’t try to make it so fast
Or you will get cast
Like a bomb that blast
And you must carry last.
Men being very curious
With mind so furious
And very serious
Making them dubious and callous.

MY WEDDING DAY
On my wedding day
I wore a pink suit
A white cuff links
With a black long sleeve.
I and my wife
Walked down the aisle
With hands held tight
And faces dazzling.
The rose flowers
The silvery crown
The sandhog shoe
All with effect blazing.

Marvin Ugorji Poem
LONELINESS
Loneliness is tragical
It kills faster than bullet
And subdue like an elephant.
Loneliness fears no one
It comes when we are alone
It is a room that is so quiet.
Loneliness bears a mark of Sadness
It might lead to Madness
If there is no desperate measure.
Loneliness makes one to do
Things he or she did not wish to do
Or want to go through.

Marvin Ugorji Poem
LIFE
Some say life has no end
While some say it has an end
That it ceases when
Someone living die
Some say that there is life
After the person has died
While some say that there
Is something call reincarnation
That reincarnation is when
Someone die and is born again
Through his or her family lineage
Or through a related lineage.

Marvin Ugorji Poem
OLD AGE
I am now old
I am no longer bold
As I used to be before
The smooth and tender skin
Of which I bore
Is no longer present at all.
My skin now has a rugged terrain
I now feel pain
And the grave beneath call
Old age has taken over me
Delicate and fragile skin I now see
Like a child I talked
Like a child I walked
Now, like the old I act
And the almighty fact
Remains that I am going down
And can no longer walk on my own.

Marvin Ugorji Poem
I have wandered alone in the dark.
I have swarmed alone in lonely river.
Still there was not trace of your mark,
Staying alone in my room, I always shiver.
Days has gone, years has passed,
With all hope lost,
How you spoiled and messed,
My life up, without paying the cost.
As I was dying in memories you created,
An Angel out of the blue,
Came to my rescue,
That was how I was delivered.
You came out of the blue
And gave me courage,
That I must make it through
The fiery and stormy rage.
