Olusegun Akanbi Poems

STANZA ONE
He had the heart of a lion
And the strength of a bear
Ripping his enemies apart
...

Africa! A land flowing with milk and honey.
Devoured by greed and the love for money
Where corruption thrives and war is a common place
Where will Africa show her true real face?
...

Beautiful gypsy riding in a caravan
With a black mongrel and an old man
In the cold winter
...

Fly little hummingbird
Sing to me
And if you do I promise to set you free
Fly little hummingbird
...

Mechanical men built with of bolts, steel and screws
Embedded with a computer program stating the Don’ts and Dos
Wiring the components demands so much care
...

Nobody really knew of their existence
until the year 2626
Prior to that year it was merely speculation
...

I may not have sweet words
Because the truth is bitter
And not all is real
Like the Fool's gold they do not glitter
...

Trip to the moon.
We hope to leave very soon
We packed our bags
And into our spaceship we zoom
...

Life and death
Entails the other
When I die where will I go?
...

If men were gods
Then horses will fly
If men were gods
Then no one will die
...
