Ojok Isaac Poems

I was born black
From dust by God
I was given life
In the land of Africa
...

January, I read the news
About COVID 19 in 🇨🇳 China
It was in Wuhan
And it was a...new virus
...

Wealth makes death
an enemy
But sickness of the
soul and
...

Aya, an abedo atini.
Aya, pe obedo miti na.
Malaika a Jokamalo otwar iyi awura ni
Oyaa iker me polo
...

The sky is full of clouds
Great men live on earth
But they die, they vanish
Like smoke from the face of earth
...

I slept and forgot...
So I went far
I was flying like a bird
I was flying above the clouds
...

A pot was on your head
Your blouse was wet
It was tight on your skin
I saw a scar on your arm
...

The first man came
He knelt down and
kissed my little hand
I was a queen once
...

I was heartbroken
I felt the pain
From my marrow
And there was none
...

If I look at the blue sky
And see one cloud like my wife
And the other like a stranger
Making love, let me not get near
...
