Izuoma Ibe Owunna Poems

Who will hear our story?
Who will see our drama?
Who will listen to our plea without scorn?
Trivial posture on us by our lustful leaders
...

As you have left
My heart has changed its beat
It pounds so hard
In reminiscence of yesterday
...

We stood at a cross-road
Each deciding on which to take
Suddenly to lifted the lamp of love
Then we saw this way you lead
...

Nigeria
My Nigeria
Nigeria mother of great leaders in the heart of Africa
Nigeria our compatriots fought her independence fifty years ago
...

Beautiful faces
All around the place
Sweet voices
From lovely persons
...

Little child
What’s your hope?
In this wild wide worry world?
How can your reach your dreams
...

I am proud of you father
You gave me all I need
I have no cause to bother
Your care is love indeed
...

It is a year you faded away
To a place I cannot venture living
But your voice re-echoes
I wish I will meet you again
...

Should I uphold my thought?
It makes my heart fret
Should I fail my conscience?
Holding me not to quit
...

The rain is gone.
The sun is set.
The breeze has come.
But my love is gone.
...
