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
...

Soon classes will start in all the universities
And you will be called upon to apply yourself
To scholarship and moral rearmament
In this new fascinating world of education
...

Who is your best friend?
Mine is a good book
He makes me laugh and cry
With a joy that embellishes my soul
...

I feel good each time
I get a new book
A new book may
Not really be new
...

From dawn to dusk
You labour in the Lord's vineyard
To mould the young ones you keep
Many are the fruits you harvest
...

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