Shadrach Shehu Poems

The skylark is scared
of singing aloud! It hums...
Terror feasts on fear
...

'human', they call you.
but I say you don't qualify.
you've got features of a man & you think you're human,
how dare you?
...

cheetah, do you know
why your potential starves you?
a seed needs to grow.
...

We are trying
Trying so hard
To survive
One breathe at a time
...

I look
to see what filth lurks beneath the white fabric shielding the ugliness and
fierce stare of the mystery called
life
...
