Ivan Chizurum Ezeigbo Poems

Believe me
I've never felt this way before
Since you left me
A smear of happiness with you
...

Let the bold get bolder
The weak, weaker
The poor, poorer
And the world bigger
...

Why did you leave me?
Why forsake me now?
Had I not waited enough
For us to be together
...

What shall we see when the world ends?
Shall our lives be lends?
Everybody shall be in confusion
As if they just suffered concussion
...

The cross stands for no ones mentor
Except a person who people call a debtor
Jesus died on a cross which stood upright
Peter died twice on a cross which stood upside down
...

The trees will waver in the wind
People will stand within the shadows
In the darkness behind
And in them will raise sorrowful solos
...

Quacks, wobbling colony
Can't there be a change?
Of incessant worrying minds
And dirty leading seats
...

When I close my eyes
All I see is a planet
Glittering as diamond
Very bright are it's lights
...

The carcas of leaders
The tomb of misery
Money-inclined hearts
Pleasure and fame, their watch word
...

In the great forest of South Africa,
Moves a black shift
With bare feet on the imperata
Voices lay low with ancient tongues
...
