Chris Jibero Poems

Amiss, amiss, amiss!
Something is amiss with my country
Spiritually and physically rich
But apparently presented as poor
...

There it lies, the unknown African baby
On warm and fertile African soil
Its birth place, as supple
And tender as a larva ejected
...

(Dedicated To Agaptus Egwuogu)

Not all die
only the petty with the avaricious
...

A rehearsal of Armageddon
A chilling sight
A rage of nature
Devouring a piece of man
...

Not he to lose a match
Not he on this turf
Weighted in his favour
Wherein his fanatical fans
...

Abuja
Abundance
Budding
Undaunted
...

An enchanting sunflower you are
That unfurls as the sun rises
Every morning
To rouse you
...

How long more will a burgeoning affection
Be hidden from the prying eyes of men
How long more will I keep a princess
Holed up in the bottom of my bosom
...

“Grant me
Oh God
The Spirit
That abhors sin
...

Like an evergreen ballad
Wafts your melodious voice
In my receptive ears
Depositing an indelible
...
