My African Sun

MY AFRICAN SUN
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]
My African sun
Hot as you may
Be measured with
Hot or cold instruments
You still mean 
So much more to
Us in the African continent
When we wake up
In the mornings
We feel joyous
To see you standing
In the East
And when the birds
And hens are
Homeward bound to roost
That is the right
Time to behold
God’s best gift
Of nature.

Oye

“OYE” (“HARMATTAN”)
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]


When
	On harmattan wings
Flapped iced
Into my oblongata cold
Into moneyless sadness
Of our Saussure’s paper
Locked in
Folic signified signifier
In language
Too much mystique in
Folic signifier signified
Till tides come
When
On glorious dawns day
We acknowledge
That those potholes
We 
Wobbled our way through 
In 
Thorns trumpeted
Into our ears 
Too congealed
To hear Bata drums
Hypnotizing us
Into spag queens hall.

Akunbga My Woman

“AKUNGBA MY WOMAN”
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]

Just as
Fast as my heat
Has reached
Its peak
Savoring you
With sensuous eyeballs
Hoping
This time to 
Get the thrill
I insert
My money
My phallic strength
Hoping to ignite
Batteries of
Multiple organisms
But yet
You laid there
In your book forest
Another of your pride
I have to overcome
And when 
The sex play is all over
My multiple laurels…
Then reality knocks
At my door
As I opened
To my convocation
The doctorate mission (in) complete.

POETRY BLUES

Forgive me if I have wronged you
The task before me
Is beyond marital blues
You claimed I come home late
You claimed I drink spirits a lot
You claimed I snored every night
You claimed I took you for granted
You claimed I forgot our wedding date
You claimed I was too Puritan …
Incapable of love
And being loved
Please and please my angry woman
Let’s push your trainload of anger aside
While I invite the holy Muse of poetry
To refresh my soul
With lines I will submit
In our poetry soup anthology

Just the Way We Are

JUST THE WAY WE ARE


When on Friday morn'
we woke up hastily
children rushed to school
parents rushed to resume work
heavy traffic
hopping from one bus to another 
hiked transport fares were hurridly forgotten
and town hall meetings we must attend
classes take backdrops
raindrops mixed with teardrops fell on our cheeks
three years of hard work retracted
who do we tell our silent sobs
wasted midnight candles 
burnt whilst we tried to meet new promotion templates
is it a crime to work hard?
is it a crime to remain in the dark continent?
or is it...
just the way we are.

Ethiope Riverside

“ETHIOPE RIVERSIDE”
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]

How come
We once paddled our canoe
Along river Ethiope
And nobody saw us
Come and go
Till tides come
When sweet memories
Of Ethiope riverside
We cannot remember 
Is it those delta bitches
At the river motel
It is those water baths
Where we saw people
Pulled into the river
Drowned in the river
Dive into the river
Whose waterbed you see
From the riverside
Of Ethiope river
Hence they tell
Their natives
Not to go to their river
When tis tides
To mark the annual
Drowning in the festival
Where mother Ethiope
Must swallow alive
One internet book seeker
Whose immersion is alive
While their resurrection 
Is stone dead
Half breathing
Half dying
From the waveless flow
Of the waters
At Ethiope riverside.

IF I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

If I want to change the world
I will get a train ride
To mount Zion today
And get the express permission 
Of God
I will ask God
To allow all married men
With marital challenges
To rewind the clock of life
And move it to their
Comfort zone of bachelorhood

KIDNEY FAILURE

God made man perfect
And planted
Two bean-like objects
Inside his abdomen
And warned mankind
Not to eat the forbidden fruits
But mankind failed to listen
And took 
 too much Salt
And took 
Too much Soda
And took 
Too much proteins
And took 
Too much carbohydrates
And took 
Too much fatty foods
And took
Far too much spirits
That landed mankind 
With Renal failures

Soon It Will Be Twenty Nineteen

Soon it will be twenty nineteen
and i'm yet to pay my children's school fees
i have gone a borrowing
i have become a solitary beggar
and
not a single humankind left
that heeds my plea
i will cry to my creator
my everlasting city of refuge.

MY SOUL LONGS FOR GOD

From childhood
Unto adulthood
I have tale-guided
My thoughts and inactions

Bible literature tells me that
Those who disobey God
Will find their space
In the sepulcher

While those who keep His commandments
Will join the heavenly host
And others
To celebrate with Pope Chaplains
