samuel nze Poems

This is a tale of two birds
Sitting on the wall;
One was not named Peter,
Even if the other was Paul.
...

It was a meal for seven days;
He ate the meat on Sunday
And the fruit salad
The next day.
...

At the sound of the gun
The squirrel falls dead
Who will mourn him?
Rain.
...

When you carry an empty purse
It becomes too heavy;
A fuller one would be preferable,
By far the lighter!
...

Are you my friend
Then why did you rate me
One over five
To spoil my score?
...

You must know I like my country,
Life here is simple.
Pressed for release
There is no need for a lavatory
...

The dawn is welcome
After black long hours
Our eyes shut
We saw only dreams.
...

The road to my house is bad
But men who live there are good
A good man is a rich one
It is so they say
...

The night with its silver lights
Caresses my window sill
Night of nights
So calm, so still
...

Black magic can tame a warrior
Make him break his spear
Carry the loin cloth on his head
And run like Ele
...
