Benjuzzy Okpuzor Poems

Will I not stay a
Moment without
Mourning, and craving
...

I have lingered long in doubt,
And in darkness, Whispering to
The walls caged around me in
Chain,
...

" ALETTER TO LIBYA"

This were the voice of the
Victims, crying beneath their
...

O soul survivors,
Listen to the voice
Of a plagued poet,
For the days of my prime,
...

It has been established,
And accomplished,
The little lamb finally
lay to rest;
...

I will never live to
Leave you, for the day
I do will be the date
They burn my body,
...

In the beginning was
My dear country, which
Now is my death country
Then with her virgin land
...

This were the poetry of
A broken page,
That every written word
Is a poem of pain
...

Listen to the dark
sound of
Silence,
Even the lonely heart
...

Let the lying lips burn to bone,
For I'm benjuzzy I swore the
Sworn sword of loyalty,
...
