Ezekiel Nketani Jr Poems

The violent rage of winds they blow
The tides are rising o'er and o'er
The eager sea is about a drinking
Captain! Captain! your ship is sinking
...

I heard a sound brake out from hell
The sound as of an iron bell
And when it reached my pensive ears
It woke the greatest of my fears
...

If i had to bid the world good-bye
To caress that aimless sky
Those heavenly treasures in my hold...
Be worth more than all the worlds gold
...

I used to sit at the wooden table
And watch the ashes of the sky
Wipe in reverence to enable...
The sun a glorious good-bye
...
