George Ahaneku Poems

On the day Christ entered Jerusalem
He rode upon a colt
Yet there was something about that day
They sang Hosanna Hosanna
...

This ancient city
A stone aged place
In reckless abandon
There's so much space
...

Her hair is kept
Like a garden swept
Her mien bright
As glimming light
...

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
...

The Mind is a part of God’s creation
That man is yet to explore
And in all of God’s creation
Tis’ that part that has to endure
...

Distance and time may hide my face
But love and passion will procure grace
Arise early prepare for this is ur Day
No rain just sun & it will remain that way
...

When I was born
I suckled the breast
When life was fun
I played with my pets
...

If I had the power to choose
Would I wedger a coin to lose
Would a felon rob and leave us clues
Which would lead him to the hang-man’s noose?
...

Thank you Lord for the grace
To put smiles on people's face
While I wallow in shame and disgrace
Even for a stranger I bow to undo his lace
...

Let the day not come
When I’ll have to weep
When it’s a loved one’s turn
To fall into deep sleep
...
