Lekan Malik Poems

Comrades!
Give me your ears.
It seems the so called
Callous human beings
...

In war,
There is no warrior.
Every man is for himself.
Then you see them,
...

In the dark,
We saw their shadow
In the dim of the light
Getting closer to us.
...

Even if I was not informed,
Or orientated enough,
Concerning your half mast posture,
But seeing you awkwardly,
...

So long was the queue
Like that of an immeasurable python.
People waited impatiently
And their anxiety never ceased.
...

I want to be a girl!
Who does not mind her business.
And ready to gossip all day long.
A girl that conceals one of her breasts
...

It’s been long
That he has been trying
To jump over
The tall and rocky fence.
...

All day long,
I stand to think of you.
All night long,
I lay to analyse
...

I am in the west
Standing on a platform to behold the north.
But alas! What did I see?
Turmoil and devastation.
...
