Odiri Okafor Poems

LIFE
Unpredictable nugatory whirligig
An inexplicable perplexing mystery
Inconclusive struggle for many folks
...

History echoes the verity of the story;
The evergreen account of man
Perfected by divine hands
Fashioned out in same portrait
...

Drown in Adamic ocean of flesh
Hopelessly at the mercy of the big fish
Continuously, the ocean waves roar and wash
Deep down, unconsciously speak gibberish:
...

THE MONSTER
Thou monster! Whence comest thou?
Certainly, in the event of the fall
Immortality metamorphosed to mortality
...
