Ugochukwu Aneke Poems

Know ye the truth & it shall set ye free
Oneness should flow naturally not imposed
Like a green fetus corded to a white woman
...

When men seem to let go patience
And seek gratification as essence
Knowing of ends rather than means
Look away brother, and die the eagerness
...

They count their holy beads with life claws
Awe that Muham'd came & stood for peace
Fingered-hands say the Roman rosary
O Mother-mary, regarding less the Lords Words
...

Man proposes, God disposes in time
The servants least awaited the end of the fattened cow
Neither did the prodigal's father see a starry sign
The prodigal tho' his share, had swine meals to gnaw
...

Tailors do wish to bribe the barking time -
And jump the cue to make a swift delivery.
Bankers eat their cake to grant a loan -
And have it back from the sold collateral.
...

Ruth excelled in naive innocence
Sowed a seed purely for the purity of adulthood
Until the shoot of her flower got torn
She lost faith & wallowed away adamantly
...

In the cold moonlight
Under the Lamped haven, dearth of moths
Each four household in seclusion sat
And languished events of their importunate thoughts
...

Atimes, I wallow in shallow thoughts
Vivid portraits of the event stays
Sand paths never were ways
Could there be different devoted salts?
...

Sympathy alone accompanies my senses
No father to cloth my unclad self
My members left unkempt; result of no family
my tears wept by the rain & not a mother
...
