Ikenna Omeje Poems

Oh Africa!
The Cradle of Civilization,
Yet The Least Developed Continent.
Rich in Natural Resources;
...

Nigeria! The glory, the sound, the beauty, the knowledge reservoir. the treasure base of Africa and the future.
You have been buffeted by war, militancy, terrorism and corruption.
Yet, you did not die
Because your creator created you for a special purpose.
...

The memory of my love
still hangs on the wall.
My heart foams with boldness and pride;
because faith has taught me that nothing is impossible.
...

We couldn't choose our fate.
We only had faith.
Not to faint.
What else if not his strength?
...

You're a phenomenon;
A city without rest,
nor silence.
Darkness and light holds no meaning to your activities.
...

It was on the 25th of December
The harmattan weather knocking at the doors;
and shutting the windows.
Hello! Hello!
...

I will not let you go
If you love and cherish me
Believe in me
When all voices are against me
...

Sabo Ngari, the abode of the Yamiris
Hit by unprovoked attacks
Leading to the transition of many
Including women and children
...

I thought this day
Will never come
That we will always be there for each other.
Though, I was wrong
...

I will reach the end of the world
If the need be
To tell you
How much you mean to me.
...
