Chime Hilary Uchenna Poems

AFRICA

(to africans in diaspora)
...

distanced we sat, barred from
spoken words
masked, our lives became one
volume of thoughts race
...

beautiful mermaid,
eyes, of mine solitary soul
out of depth of your heart;
cast a glance!
...

tensed we watched
as our fathers before us, has done
we watched as dawn streaks across the neighing sky
another day has come
...

My father,
out of your seeds
emerged i,
millions of us swarm across the eggling waters
...

heavenly guest
heralding thunderously
in its own awake
pelting on men
...

7.

i appreciate
adore
praise
envy
...

8.

if you have a door
guide it well,
secure it jealously
for it is a passage for all
...

we have a cause
we all have a noble cause
we had a dream,
we all dreamt a hopeful dream
...

death 1

if one can capture death
and have it arraigned in the court of peoples heart
...

The Best Poem Of Chime Hilary Uchenna

Africa

AFRICA

(to africans in diaspora)

africa here i come, africa
africa of the black soul
the soul of an ancient culture
the culture of your timid tribes.

its your voice i hear africa
your voice of the talking drums
your beaded drums and the royal trumpeter
the metal gong of your town crier

i have come to see your music dance
i have heard of your ageless minstrels
have i not heard of your swinging hips!
i have heard enough and have come to watch
wouldn't you dance for me africa

africa here i come africa
would you not show me to your tribes
the timid tribes of your sweetened tongues
the varied tongues of your virtuous men

africa, black soul africa
tell me about your gods
your gods of the sky and of the mother earth
your gods of the hills and of the rivers abound

show me to your kings africa
your kings of the ancient dynasty
the ancient dynasty of rusted spear and shield
africa, here i come africa
