Nelson Vincent Poems

Dear God,


I give thanks for EVERYTHING
...

If I die,
Let me be buried in this vault
Let my casket be of gold
Let my body be embalmed with spices
...

Last Night

Last Night it was
That the temples of history were pulled down
...

I'd loved to wear your royal robes
But I prefer my robes of rag

I'd loved to wear your scent and 'fume
...

Iyalaya

I went to deliver your message
When they attacked me
...

Marshed Morsels
Meticulously moved like
Mounds moisted in Melon Soup and Marches into Moon
More Morsels! More!
...

I am a ladder
Lying like a railway track
I have rail lines like rungs
...

Brick by brick
phase by phase
the rumbles of the first
fast becomes another
...

(For 'Zambia- Anglomoz'
For the boundaries of Angola and Mozambique Halls, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.)

Let me hear this voice again
...

See her walk with poise
Ssh! Don't make a noise
Watch her awesome carriage
Little wonder Esau considered pottage
...

When we raise out hands in resilience
We are battered down in disdain

When we raise our eyes against decadence
...

The Best Poem Of Nelson Vincent

Morning Prayer

Dear God,


I give thanks for EVERYTHING
bad, good except NO THING
They say,
A child who shows appreciation today
For a deed done yesterday
Worths another someday


This day is a new child
As I go in it
Help my gentle mild
soul sway happily
Not in the hands of Osun, Oya or any Chi
Do I rest my head
But in your broad big hand

The ground I step may have a thorn
From it Lord, strong make my feet


Disease in air makes it air-borne
May I breathe no sort of it

My eyes may see glory and gun
The joy of the gun is six-feet
Far from me I plead


The journey of no return is a long one
May I not embark on it...
