John Chizoba Vincent Poems

Do not wear a weary face of lost,
Fight the good fight and continue fighting,
Beat around your failures and disappointment;
Don't beat down your soul in a hurry,
...

Man, a fool in his kingdoM
Advancing his madness with a cold teA
Never shall man get well agaiN
Man made himself captive in place of freedoM
...

See through my lens
That perfection is not in my blood,
I have tried to be like them and failed.
I need none of their approval or acceptance
...

SHE:
I leave you with this bleeding verses,
The stone that will kill you shall not be far from you.
The fly that will breed maggoting maggots on you
...

Let a child steal a moment from your time
Let a child know that which dwells in you,
Love shared, is a love gained in success.
Don't frown your face to scare away children
...

Black Man, listen!
Not all road leads to the white house of the world,
Not all that shines like the stars are gold to the eyes.
Not all mouth that smiles is ready to do good things,
...

Yesterday saw my tears panting
Today won't see it again panting
I was shot out of life yesterday
But still I rise today beautifully
...

Make me better with that virgin hand,
I want to penetrate into the mind of
Your silent thoughts which cry more.
Like a spirited ghost of war and blood;
...

I carry your heart with me on my palms
Let me be the man that is in your smile
Let me be the ant and you my sweet
Let me be the legs that you walk with
...

Nigerian men are frustrated,
Many lost in fury and confusion,
Some are entangled in the spirit of yesterday' glory.
Men are now kids rather than kings,
...
