Chime Justice Ndubuisi Poems

As long as the earth exists
men are the eternal victims
is there sense in it?
To let son fight the giant
...

High walls, and armed men
Issuing out commands;
Armed men whose heart are either old or cold.
We, like prisoners on white, and
...

While we labour in pain,
Struggling like wounded lion,
Let us think again
The day we were born.
...

I do not need the mirror, it's transparent.
I do not want the mirror to torture me
I look, I see myself and I forget
And that is not what I want,
...

Out of the grave, out of the grove
Comes a girl, pretty like daughter of Jove
And eyes as innocent as a dove.
I wouldn't mind giving you all my love
...

Perhaps I'm demanding too much from you
Maybe you've got a better offer somewhere
That you take my calls for granted, even you!
But mark this: I've tried to escape
...

For this sight I'll eternally be thankful
I'm yet to see anyone as beautiful
Man, nor woman, yet so sensible.
Shall I compare you to a young palm tree?
...

Many among us have argued:
If God had destroyed, once a world
Filled with crimes, disobedience, anarchy, greed
And men of unusual sizes, with a flood,
...

I found my life path
Leading straight to your heart.

I've never seen one so true!
...

I know you are there
Watching, you that made yourself,
Gazing and gazing down here
To see what I'd make of myself.
...
