John Chizoba Vincent Poems

Dreams will come and go
But i remain right beside you.
I will be around you forever.
Let the world stop turning,
...

The westerners eat Amala and Ewedu
We eat Akpo and Ofe Nsala
They dance Juju and Apala
We dance bongo and atilogwu the beat of life.
...

To this brokeness of women, the world flopped and flipped out.
How life flawed and tampered the ice of the girlchild!
How green became red images to their eyes is still a misery to our flammable fable eyes:
of happiness gallopping towards sorrow,
...

No sweat no sweet
No sweat no sweet,
That is how the song goes.
Waking up all the lazy hands
...

When a man fall
Trouble begins.
A divided home is created.
Respect and honour hasten out of the door
...

Like a thunder bolt
The words exploded in her head
She was confused in the noon
History deserted into noun and verbs
...

If men were God: do you think you'll have that smile that blossomed and overthrown my emotions?
Do you think you would have that brain that shine?
Do you think you can walk with those legs that sweep men off their feet without looking back and live?
Many would look for a way to make you cripple.
...

Give them the lie
The white lie
Let them do the senseless Dance
Depraved men they are
...

HISTORY WITHOUT PAGES

When our past came calling,
They told us the story of our past
...

When I was in America
I received an Envelop with my mother's stamp on it.
I saw the red ink boiling on the surface of the book.
I torn it open and watched the words in anger!
