Oti Egwu Poems

Explosive bangs from diverse ends
Escape routes were undesirable
I was stuck on the horns of dilemma
On the coarse edges of a quandary
...

Alas! halcyon days are lost
Looms large is blacks'holocaust
Why rapacious claims of misfit
The rules literally reads brinkmanship
...

Off in the arms of morpheus at dawn
I realized that my crown was gone
Hence searching was futile
Who orchestrated this vice?
...

Amity in the abyss
How did we get to practicing malice
Days of loving and sharing are gone
Our camaraderie and relationship now sour
...

The flying wings of time now crawls
Day and night faces heavy mix of brawl
As i long for the cock to crow
Cos'my diverse thoughts are running amok
...

Ambitions of titans melting into deep fury
Power sways towards cockeyed vortex
Hoi polloi stewed in political pretext
Nigeria a hysterical powder keg
...

When light glows off your eyes,
Time grow past your height,
And life shuts out your presence
Would the world feel your absence?
...

His coming heralded hope
And on ascension, he was our heartthrob,
Our king that will lead not by tricks,
But through strings of adept creed
...

You talked us into believing you;
Your words were soothing & mildly cute,
In you we saw an oasis in the desert,
A hero that would raise us honourably;
...

What an explosive bang from a powder keg!
My ass is in flames, my head in rage,
As the nothingness of my guile rise in shame;
Through strings of unflattering dejavu.
