Emone Emmanuel Poems

I am Africa the brave
As strong as the earth
The thickness of black
Is my gift from God
...

Then one day I saw
The students of the school of suffering
Wearing their tattered uniforms
With their badge of poverty.
...

I see the dawn
In the middle of the night
As I saw the bright future
...

Life to the traders
Is just a market
Where you must leave
After selling your goods
...

We greet thee great king
For living in your magnificent palace
While we sleep in the streets
As we await your new housing scheme
...
