samuel nze Poems

Oily mouth justified by muddy hands
Full barns topped of green fields
Profitable employment after hard study
Full bank account fed by fruitful work
...

They are not happy
Playing kalo-kalo
And drinking palm wine
In their village
...

Oligopoly of slaves
Is an aberration of human rights
We are too fiendish to notice
That when these rule us
...

Give me your hand
And make me your friend
If not for anything else
For all there has been
...

I will never forget the pain
The sadness, the tears
As my heart sank in the shadoof
And the water seeped in
...

Forgive me for being great
I didn't know it would
Merit your acrid stare
The snobbery and disdain
...

Long hours of dolour
Can be winsome
If you fear less
And brave the period
...

How would you feel
If you spent five days
In a cosy inn
Only for you to come
...

Feeling like the power of radio
Speaks discernedly to my mind to drown
Uninformed confidence that shows itself
Akin to the wind at times erratic
...

The pastors will soon come
With the choristers singing
Tunes of the revival
And the spiritual hymns
...
