Njousi Abang Poems

If I were you,
I will stop for once and ponder:
Where am I? Where am I going?
What am I taking away?
...

When thinking is limited
By loyalty, socio-cultural reality
And geophysical and political settings
Universal Truth tends to be tinted,
...

The carnage and wreckages on our roads
As epitomized by corpses, broken vehicles,
Broken limbs of men, women and children
And goods that will never reach their destinations
...

Desertification drives on
We must be very watchful
And above all, unhypocritical
As we sometimes do
...

When volcanoes erupt and
Their ashes upon us tumble down
Man is vulnerable to all odds
When thunder strikes and storms
...

Isn't it a crime against humanity:
This waste that is transported and dumped
On the African soil by people who care?
Isn't it a crime against humanity:
...

Every second God receives
Billions of supplications and petitions
From different people in different languages
In all the nooks and crannies of this globe
...

The clouds never cease amazing me
They have an exceptional beauty
Like no other part of nature
They move and change
...

In quest of a livelihood
In quest of fun and pride
In an attempt to stay alive
In order to satisfy our sadistic desires
...

Pray always for yourself and others
Repent of all your iniquities
Ask God for forgiveness and blessings
Yahweh will grant you
...
