Victor Okechukwu Anyaegbuna Poems

They do not believe in Nigeria
Who send their children to school abroad
While the ones at home rot and decay.
In ill-funded dilapidated schools
...

Biafra is still on my mind
They have done nothing to erase it.
I still hear everywhere,
Words that betray my serenity;
...

A while, a while
O yet another while!
Let this while begin now
to resurrect from graves
...

Mothers get so pained seeing their children cry
They guard their loins ready to fight
And die to pamper their old babes.
They starve to give their angels cheer
...

You have dotted the multihued skies
With your credible finite goodness;
You have destroyed ancestral curses
And earned us wholesome splendid victories
...

Integrity has insulted and humiliated me
So much that I have only lived
In the paradise of pre-existence
In a world that change
...

I was chasing a small elephant,
Big as it was, yet active as an ant,
In Mother Nature's awesome wild.
It was fast, yet sublime and mild.
...

Drifting as gravely, aside grey clouds on the run
With heavy boulders of chilled conquest
That the sun in all its sublime candour
Melts to create the blessings of rain.
...

You lighten other people's abode
But keep yours in darkness
What a shame!
...

I walked down the lonely forest
With a batch of unseen faces
And myriads of voices unknown.
At the outskirts, something obscure
...
