WHEN IT RAINS
When ponderous rain slap earth like rocket
We envelope ourselves into big blanket
...
PURPOSE IS DEFEATED
Long time ago, they left theboundaries
Like an eagle from afar, they sight our mysteries
...
THE FIRST VICTIMS
Walking back on triple feet
From where newspapers float
...
A SONG FOR OUR YOUTHS
Look, time is swiftly on a rail
Nation in disarray
...
JUSTICE FEVER
The Heads have their own desire
Seat round and conspire
...
WE WENT HAYWIRE
The fruit of horrendous hurry
Hung appeasingly aloof
...
THY STEP DAUGHTER
She wept behind the crowd
A scornful look from thy mother
Foolish girl!
...
PARTY RICE
Compound wey dem take cook party rice
Nor suppose hungry dat day

Familiar Strangers
FAMILIAR STRANGERS
My heart drifts
It pounds hurriedly
I wasn't running
I hear yours too
Beating faster than her shadow
Then I realise
We are adorn with bait
Always running from Predators
Yes, men are no longer taken across
Adorn with heavy necklaces and bracelets
On pants into Titanics
Like modern day fashion
Accompanied with wine from their eyes
They drank to stupor
With whips sounding like applauds
A continuous jubilation
Baited by strangers no more
But the strangers left their culture
Together with their ornaments behind
Invisible ornaments
What an inheritance
Our own now strangers
Our own now prey on us
Even in our Father land
Another jubilation
I thought it was over
