Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM, CDOA Poems

Bomb blow,
Country people wound,
Country people die,
House dem damage,
...

They storm solemn city,
city of succour,
citadel of black gold,
clutching smouldering machines,
...

Let me lay my head
On this belly
Now flabby,
Belly that bore the sack,
...

Who are these
Little angels warring
On my bedside?
Pleasantly disturbing
...

Irigidim, dim, dim.
Dum, dum, irigidim,
Eeeh wooo, eeeh wooo.
They have shot
...

In the sanctum
Of the parish,
Before matrimonial mass,
Pretty bride,
...

I watched him
Dip his forefinger
Deep
Inside Mary Magdalene's mug,
...

I searched
And searched,
I found her
Helped
...

Which Kin Yawa Be Dis? (Poem In Nigerian Pidgin English)

Bomb blow,
Country people wound,
Country people die,
House dem damage,
Property sef spoil.

Country man
Wey dey advise Presido
For security matter
Come yan say
Na because of election
Wey dey come
Na im make bomb dey blow.

Presido
Come yan say
Na lie adviser talk,
Opposition come hala say
Make Presido sack adviser.

As dem dey talk talk,
Bomb still dey blow,
Country people still dey wound,
Country people still dey die,
House dem still dey damage,
Property still dey spoil,
Which kin yawa be dis?
