Gerald Obinna Poems

wish I knew my dad
I wouldn't think of what to write
Or what song to sing beside your grave
I wouldn't lament of our fighting days
...

Boarding from my house to the east
flanked by forest with its beast
it sways majestically, in sleep i wag
up up i must, are you a wraith you hag?
...

I am the victim
Ye are victims
If we die mourners are victims
When elephant struggles grass perish
...

It ws cooked underthe hot fire of passion
It burnt under the blazing fumes of pleasure
it savoury aroma tempted the unwary
The soft lining vail spilt swiftly by strong youthful lust
...

I place my life in your hands
you sent it to my forebears
what status do you uphold by your fetish pledge
we are striked by your strike
...

Our doom began being black
same as the devil we deserve hell
our pride now a prejudice
life birthmark has been our bane
...

Oh the lion has been coupe down from his throne
Now the hyenas, the ruthless hyena
Will now pounce on Mr. turtle
The vultures will quack and quake. Quake on waters
...

One day
I will ride on death
With grey hairs
And sunken lips
...

If I must die
Let me go when the grasses are all dried
When the sun revile the evil & shine not
In a tatched dream,
...
