Chris Jibero Poems

1.

Amiss, amiss, amiss!
Something is amiss with my country
Spiritually and physically rich
But apparently presented as poor
...

There it lies, the unknown African baby
On warm and fertile African soil
Its birth place, as supple
And tender as a larva ejected
...

(Dedicated To Agaptus Egwuogu)

Not all die
only the petty with the avaricious
...

A rehearsal of Armageddon
A chilling sight
A rage of nature
Devouring a piece of man
...

Not he to lose a match
Not he on this turf
Weighted in his favour
Wherein his fanatical fans
...

6.

Abuja
Abundance
Budding
Undaunted
...

An enchanting sunflower you are
That unfurls as the sun rises
Every morning
To rouse you
...

How long more will a burgeoning affection
Be hidden from the prying eyes of men
How long more will I keep a princess
Holed up in the bottom of my bosom
...

“Grant me
Oh God
The Spirit
That abhors sin
...

Suspicion, the strong spirit that deastroys love
Is usually the brew of a lonely heart
Deeper than abyss
Concoction of strange imaginings
...

Like an evergreen ballad
Wafts your melodious voice
In my receptive ears
Depositing an indelible
...

Stronger than brandy
So unfathomable and intriguing
Turning a man to some candy
When it inundates his garden
...

Though I am priceless
my price isn't high
my demand is little
my expectation simple
...

Reading the wonderful compositions
You effortlessly churn out
Give me some kick
Nothing negative at all
...

O bu onye ka uwa huru
Mechie onu ya n'ehi miri
Dika ulo ajadu
O bu onye ka uwa huru hapu
...

Pain is so carelessly doled out
From a monstrous fetish pot
A concoction from hell
By messengers of death
...

Mama! Mama! Mama!
Called I but “Nna di m”
Your usual response
Was not forthcoming
...

I know not a dowdy
And never will know any
Because none exists where I live
Where I work
...

Season of reaping tenaciously follows
Season of sowing as day follows night
And as a shepherd follows
His flock for certainly does one
...

Is the love you bear
Sensible and wise;
Nosey and inquisitive?
Watch out,
...

The Best Poem Of Chris Jibero

Amiss

Amiss, amiss, amiss!
Something is amiss with my country
Spiritually and physically rich
But apparently presented as poor
Billions of our money given wings
Like hawks that disappear
When chicks are forcefully taken
Trillions stashed down the drains
To fertilize parched lands
Where hussies and gigolos live
The cause being greed
Nursed and nurtured by the elite
A few insatiable pigs
That profess religion
But know not God

Mothers compete to outdo fathers
I weep, I weep, I weep uncontrollably
For there is no one to console me
And my heart has a new guest uninvited
A nagging pain
Would I die weeping
With no solace coming?
