samuel nze Poems

You say I walk faster than my shadow
And why not
There are too many shadows in Africa
Gloom, defeat, despair
...

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

See him approach
In his cragly wag
His silent trumpeting
Of poverty.
...

Dark heart and a hurt head
There is disappointment in my soul
I groan in tired dissipation
As melancholy hems me in
...

There has been disaster late
In the vast Asian estate
Groups and people now donate
Steady they Tsunami's fate
...

Shadows stalk by our wall
Tracing a frame of me and my brother
As we sit side by side
On the corridor
...

He was his mother's son
Before he joined the army;
He who joins the army
Has no mother.
...

Oil is like gold
Similar hue
Not at all blue
Both can be cold
...

Jesus looks at Nigeria
As once he beheld the leper
He asks the historic quiz
Wilt thou be made whole?
...

It is middle May
And the sky is in a mood
Crying everyday -
What is this all about!
...
