Solomon Njoku Poems

O old creature, mighty tower of paradise,
dancing Congo style in spherical circle
thou, from whose many ancestral race
are unite in thy magnitude womb,
...

Tick, tick in my ear
Sound loud like trumpet voice
When all was in a quake
Live in moan and gale
...

Lonely in a vastness field,
Buzzing in my ears,
Wandering in many days and nights,
Tattered like a mad monkey.
...

I appreciate this great nature,
for thy privilege precious gold 'life'.
O my dearie child,
for long thy live in my heart,
...

On dust, thou are form,
But how great, thou are design?
As a garment, thou appeal to me,
Shining like Joseph special robe,
...

We are the future hopes of the
earth.
Hatred by the society,
Embracing all our suffering
...

Shrilly sound from faraway
Bang and pang
In plaintive throats
Cabaret pain in clamouring voice.
...

Once upon a time
there was a country, dwelt in the west
black continent; rule by the emperor.
From the root of pale; live in peace
...

Night tale break its tell
in the night.
when the moon light and
the night stars were out
...

Dancing under a blaze gun
Shattering and scattering
Our joy stubbed out like dry tear
Lying with emptiness and shredded hope.
...
