Onwubuariri Jachinma Poems

The headline told a lie, hiding the scratches of a failed government
We crave for redemption yet we are the sin committed
A suffocating truth carved against our egos and pride
Awoken from the slumber we are forced to dine in, to seek a light
...

I didn't know how bad I am with headache
Until i slept a whole day at work before a full cup of coffee breathing fire
The mind is throbbing
Thoughts are screaming loudly, blurring my vision
...

The little voice begging for love and freedom from classroom is mine
I am a child
Who harbours unspoken words and wavered feelings in my heart
If you let my spirit out of this cage, a beautiful world I'll paint
...

Writing to you about the evil I enjoy.
More like knowing the hate I have for fever.
On this sick bed I curse fever.
For employing my body against me.
