Henry Isiekwe Poems

Mighty seer
I come to you for help
I pray you sir, come to my aid
I run to you to seek refuge
...

Nigeria, my great country
take heart and be strong
Cast your eyes off the
sores and bruises that
...

My dad is the wealthiest man
On the coast of Africa.
So wealthy he owns a million
oil wells
...

We wake every morning
rushing out wildly like
penguins to shore
And plunging excitedly
...

That day
in her usual fashion
Lagos quarrelled and argued
violently with herself.
...
