FAMILIAR STRANGERS

My heart drifts
It pounds hurriedly
...

WHEN IT RAINS

When ponderous rain slap earth like rocket
We envelope ourselves into big blanket
...

MEN ON BLACK

Knight of the printed or paper sky
You pay and sly
...

PURPOSE IS DEFEATED

Long time ago, they left theboundaries
Like an eagle from afar, they sight our mysteries
...

CRASE MEN

They are hiding their crase
Democracy it is
...

THE FIRST VICTIMS

Walking back on triple feet
From where newspapers float
...

A SONG FOR OUR YOUTHS

Look, time is swiftly on a rail
Nation in disarray
...

A TOKEN

The word kept ringing
Water! Water! ! Water! ! !
...

DISTINCTION

We complained
As we were demarcated with colours
...

QUESTION

Do you know?
That there's a world?
...

MECHANICAL

The lion of Africa is mechanical
A knock down engine
...

DARK KISSES

I see a colour
The colour of tears and kisses
...

NATURE AND NATION

Compare
The nature of nature
...

JUSTICE FEVER

The Heads have their own desire
Seat round and conspire
...

WE WENT HAYWIRE

The fruit of horrendous hurry
Hung appeasingly aloof
...

THY STEP DAUGHTER
She wept behind the crowd
A scornful look from thy mother
Foolish girl!
...

THE CYCLE

Like a compass
We journey from a point
...

PARTY RICE

Compound wey dem take cook party rice
Nor suppose hungry dat day
...

CLASSWORK

Still on the chalkboard
Miss Teacher fell like a ply board
...

MISSING YOU

I miss
How guys stare at your hips
...
