John Chizoba Vincent Poems

Adieu Michel, adieu the great gem

An icon bore when the wind stood still
...

why cry thou of corrupt leaders?
why wailed of bribery and corruption?
which had feasted deep into the system
we all are victims of circumstances
...

Tomorrow is pregnant
no one knows what it would bring forth
Boy or a bouncing baby girl
Perhaps the unfolding mystery of good and evil
...

the heart beat for someone

Alone
...

What is life without joy and happiness?

what is life without self honour and pride?
...

the man within me makes me who i am

he is the source of my being
...

Be hopeful not hopeless
Honest not mindless
with the zeal so real
Not looking upon your situation
...

Take me out of here and,
Never bring me back to this dungeon

Hell for the monkeys
...

When i was a baby
with a running nose and incomplete teeth
I went to school with biscuit and sweets
My teacher put me on a writing stool
...

Do you know Dr Saka?
The shy gentle chap who dresses in white gown
Fair skinned like ripe mangoes
With a hair cut in a fashionable manner
...
