John Chizoba Vincent Poems

SOMEDAY


Someday it shall be,
...

I know that even when others deceive me, you can't decieve me with your blossoming ink of truth.
Go tell them what has happened to our budget,
Tell them that our budget is missing in a broad day light, who stole it? We Are yet to know.
Tell them that the chibok girls have not return from the forest of lies.
...

Let us learn not to smile only when there is money in our pockets.
Let us learn to cover each other's anus and flaws.
Let us learn the act of love and butter the inner part of our souls with goodness that slice gently into us.
You left breast milk for me to suck and I must beg you this:
...

We are the victims of sour love;
Love that never return love,
Love that brings more hatred,
Love that tells us our heart troubles
...

Memories of our past days
Make up the fabric of who we are.
Days of joy; days of sadness,
Days of hardship; days of achievements,
...

Where do we begin from here?
Where do we call the land of peace, Nigeria?
Where do we sit to watch those dancing Atilogwu?
Where is your mother's mouth at the ceremony?
...

When shall we smile again?
When shall the farmers return?
When shall all fingers become equal?
When shall mothers return to the kitchen?
...

Poets are the first class citizens of the country,
They are the interpreters of the future through
The eyes of the gods that call them into service.
They are well respected and feared in the society;
...

You still make me laugh and smile,
You still paint my face with goodness,
You brigthen the grudges I have within.
You still tell that story that change my life,
...

A true Nigerian is brave like the Lion,
He is courageous, hospitable and kind.
He never shies away from responsibilities;
In his hearts of heart he controls all within him.
...
