Izuoma Ibe Poems

The rain is gone.
The sun is set.
The breeze has come.
But my love is gone.
...

I am proud of you father
You gave me all I need
I have no cause to bother
Your care is love indeed
...

We stood at a cross-road
Each deciding on which to take
Suddenly to lifted the lamp of love
Then we saw this way you lead
...

Should I uphold my thought?
It makes my heart fret
Should I fail my conscience?
Holding me not to quit
...

Beautiful faces
All around the place
Sweet voices
From lovely persons
...

It is a year you faded away
To a place I cannot venture living
But your voice re echoes
I wish I will meet you again
...

Nigeria
My Nigeria
Nigeria mother of great leaders in the heart of Africa
Nigeria our compatriots fought her independence fifty years ago
...

Little child
What’s your hope?
In this wild wide worry world?
How can your reach your dreams
...

As you have left
My heart has changed its beat
It pounds so hard
In reminiscence of yesterday
...

Who will hear our story?
Who will see our drama?
Who will listen to our plea without scorn?
Trivial posture on us by our lustful leaders
...
