Godwin Nnanna Poems

Condescension - that old repulsive attitude
I hate it like no other
The feeling that they are inferior
That you are special and they ain't
...

All I want is to be human
To be seen as human
To be treated as human
To be respected as human
...

City of walnut trees
Where predators seek their prey
Where coyotes and cash-crazy corporations
Exploit the poor and vulnerable
...

Resistance is a restless changeling
Like Ogbanje, some are born with it
Others are possessed by it
The Ogbanje of our forebears
...
