Ojeikpo Elijah Poems

Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West
We are one
...

Social media realms where thoughts
And feelings intertwine,
Where screens illuminate, a digital shrine,
A realm of comments, likes, and dislikes moods that sway,
...

Oh, the streets were filled with rage,
As the fears and anger did engage.
Voices shouting, fists flying,
Amidst the chaos, innocent souls crying.
...

The valley of unrest
Where souls lie in eternal rest
The skies forever dark and gray
A place where sorrow never goes away
...

Global unrest, so heavy and deep
A sorrowful sorrow, for our world to weep
Nations divided, hearts full of hate
No peace to be found, only fear and debate.
...

Promiscuous lady, with skin of silk,
Men flock to you like moths to a flame,
Your beauty, a weapon, your lips, they bilk
With every kiss, they fall prey to your game.
...

Beyond the praises and the flattery,
Lies a beauty that's beyond remarks,
Not defined by physicality,
But found deep within the heart's spark.
...

Beauty beyond mere words can't be described,
For a glance is not enough to comprehend,
The depths of true beauty, unparalleled,
That goes beyond what mere remarks pretend.
...

Cry me o river, with tears of pain
That flow from the depths of a broken heart
For in my soul, love's bitter stains remain
As we drift apart, forever apart
...

Tithe, a duty we must fulfill
To give back a portion of our gain.

A sacrifice, a test of our will
...
