...

You bear the pain as if in labour room
Well meaning users savours your ray
As you bleed like a wild dam
We are as eased as cruising birds
...

Like a wounded thunder
calvary thunders how low
the son of man had stooped
that men would live far
...

...

Death,
why art thou so clean like pigs in mire
why stoop so high to take away babes
thrown away like the trash of trash
...

On a sudden sobbing night
in west african harmattan,
Light wasn't smiling
in the thickness of naked darkness
...

A mined mind
is a goldmine,
mined
by the minding
...
