samuel nze Poems

Sometimes I saw my blood
Drain out at the prick of a needle
My blood was draining out
As money was draining in;
...

When I contemplate the ages past
And quiz the depths of life
Mystery is all I get
For my labours.
...

The smile on my face
The joy in my heart
The hope you inspire -
All products of your gift.
...

Don't punish me hard
I am too young to die
I recall my birth
The day is not too old
...

Sometimes I see the gaiety around me and
I ask myself if I am
A part of it all;
Am I a man -
...

I want a king's daughter
To be my friend
But she is too proud
Her head is up in the sky.
...

The virtue is to trust
To have faith in the face of strain
We must rest secure in
The truth that God cares
...

My foes are all round me
Try to hem me in.
I resist
They cannot win this war
...

Slowly
Silently
Surely
We gather experience
...

Pander after beauty,
The bounty minds the cost;
An aura of praise
Haloes the bifurcation
...
