JESUROBOOWIE GIFT IMAFIDON Poems

DARKEST NIGHT
The cold wind of the bitter dark night
Litters the way hustling in a brutal sound
How did I find myself in such a hole?
...

A beautiful landscape crisscrossed
With fascinating bodies of water
Naturally beautiful and densely populated
From various lands we have come
...

Ode to myself
From my African roots
Descendant of the great ogiso
Who conquered Africa to the west coast
...

I am up even before the day wakes,
In this city that knows no sleep to perfect my stakes.
And all everyone sees in me is an upstart,
Not the real me; the struggling hustler likened to the ants.
...

As courageous as the lion
Meticulous as the serpent
And innocent as the doves
Capped with great incisive talents,
...

In a world where impossibility shadows reality
Dark clouds revolt against the day’s actuality.
An unsecured world governed and troubled by small minded people
Who refuse to see the bright steeple.
...

A new dawn is dawning
Fill with much yawning
As the horizon meddles way ahead
Cloud of rains so rosy red
...

Scrupulous struggle from birth
Has been mankind’s dearth.
Toiling with hot sweat that sweep the earth
In search of self worth,
...

Your mystery is my curiosity
Who can tell what you hold
Silken, shining and crowded, yet so eventful
You hold the spell no one can break
...

We labor with so much ado,
even when there is nothing much to do!
The fear of The cruelty of the night unknown
also triggers the hiccups daily known,
...
