Tribe Of Poets Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

I belong to that tribe of people
Who walk on ocean and sink not.
Those who see things the way they are
Without trying to say A is B and B is C.
I belong to that tribe where men are men.




We are poets among poets and aren't ashamed
To be called one among thousand Doctors.
We are not ashamed to be called a poet among
Thousand lawyers, teachers, actors, dancers.
We stand to defend what we believe in and called to be, I am a poet, I don't know who you are!
This is my domain where I was bred to be great!


Here in our tribe,
We eat words and drink imagery as water,
None of us are lacking like the street boys.
Our metaphor seek no restoration and our similes
Are the butter to our sense of discipline.
Our land is not for the lazy mind in the street,
We are respected and organised in attitude and characters; you can trust all and all in all.




We are the first class citizens birth with wisdom,
Our planet lack not righteousness nor perfection.
We never brain wash those we call our brothers,
I belong to those that are honest even when asleep.
I belong to those who aren't afraid to face their
Fear and deal with situations that seems hard,
We are not planet of politicians that lie through their
Honest mouth which seek redirection.



We write, rewrite and write history on pages,
We are not corrupt like the Poli-THIEVES here.
Our land is secured and guided by knowledge.
We are here for each other and beat drums for all,
We deals with pens that foretell tomorrow and
Fear not what those with dark faces shall do to us.


We are the Tribe of Poets birth perfectly in understanding of the world in our hand,
We are not envious about the success of others,
We are not competitors like the other tribes.
Show me a thousand doctors who are successful
And I will point out millions of poets who have been to the heavens and came back successfully accepted.



Poets are the bed rock of every society in the world, come visit our tribe and be glad you did in your life time.
