John Chizoba Vincent Poems

Life is worth much more than
What is use to care for its fullness.
Drive carefully on the steering,
Your family are waiting for you
...

Don't, if you can't!
Writing is not for poor minds that seek popularity,
You must kill your mind seventy times seventy time if you really want to write and write and rewrite and write for people to read and comprend your writings.
You must get ready to be abused, criticised and paint
...

I am still learning to talk
Not in the presence of kings
But in the face of commoners
Because there is greatness that
...

When you walk gallantly like the Elephant
And make gold and silver the clothes you wear
to be seen by all men whose life are worthless to
You, remember the six feet waiting for you!
...

In a dream with my pen and muse
I heard the sound of the trumpet
...

They have succeeded in putting those
Chains to our legs and called it change.
Is this change I see or chain in disguise?
Blindly we have answered to their calls
...

Malala, great malala Yousafzai,
The goddess of womanhood
Your steps and advocate for the girlchild
Has brought us where we are now,
...

Free the birds, let them go to the East
The North is unfavourable to them;
The terrorists has done them wrong
Feasting from where they have not sown.
...

Glance into the world through mother' eyes
Just as though time were gone; and
Every crook will become straight to you.
Tears shade for self are tears of weakness
...

Things unsaid hurt more
Say what you want to say
Let them say what they want to say
You gain nothing from being dumb
...
