Emmanuel Karikoga Poems

Find me a girl, who understands poetry and rhyme.
A girl with a tight schedule but willing to create time,
To read & interpret emotions embedded in every line.
A girl who understands;
...

If I were a girl; I would date that dude that make me smile
I would keep him close; cause there is no Mr Right
Rich, famous or without; I would love him just like that
Holding hands as we fight
...

When ladies become man;
They become strong like the mighty Thor's hammer,
They unleash vengeance to cover traces they failed to conquer,
When they got blinded by depraved soul in the intimacy war.
...

*Prayer for writers*
Dear heavenly father
Please do bless all writers,
As they re-shape the world like designers,
...

You a digged a hole and buried me with dry soil of hatred,
You shunned the light from my face, abandoned me in a lonesome grave.
With each day that passed;
I had to dine with no hope and remained trapped in that darkness,
...

Dear little sister
I understand you were born
In this era,
Where long dresses have become the thing of the past.
...

Covid-19 or coronavirus...!
So silent, deadly and spread so fast.
It disrupts everything, forces the whole world to wear face-mask,
Though foolishly uniting everyone around the globe to concentrate on one task,
...

Follow the sun as it rises up to the night as the stars shine,
Repeat the route daily and never abandon the old path.
If you follow that route, it will lead you to tomorrow,
Provides you a fresh start, opportunity to wipe away your old sorrow.
...

Today...!
All nations and people, we gather in solidarity against you, coronavirus,
You have threatened and swallowed some members of our society.
You left your giant foot step in Italy and showed no remorse to humanity,
...

Can somebody grab me a piece of paper and a ball-point pen,
There is a message that keeps coming;
From a voice that has siezed control of every thought in my brain.
It gets louder and louder the more I try to ignore,
...
