Dark Feelings

Dark Feelings

I have sold my sleep

Since the fears besieged us

When machetes walked through the land

On execution spree

For love let go

Like flood that year

The dark shadows are throughout the land

Walking corpse to the guns

Of the untamed foreigner

With shooter sticks

I look back with pain

I look tomorrow with horror

The pains of those lines and shadow

Money, tribe, religion and power

For these are the ills of mangled jumble

I gaze the painful picture

That will tell the tale

Of politics of life and power

That power had no life to save life

For death walked with us!

Revolving Benue Pangs

Revolving Benue Pangs

In the awe of the night

In the silence of the night

And the melody of nature

I am drenched the thoughts

 I soliloquy

 With the company of nature

I brood over Benue

In unending tears

My emotions are in rage

In the prongs of our pain

Sprouting and Sprinting with each other

In no race for savor

How do I desire sleep?

And save my heart from more muddles

Pondering on the road to savor

With words of no action?

Rage of Sticks

At the rising of the sun to dawn

By the River

I heard the rage of sticks trooping

These were the sounds of terror

I stared at the farms not ranches

The land of my fathers

And I skedaddled from my home

For I smelled the stench of blood

For we roared no more

But run from the gun canes

Unlike our fathers

Run to nowhere and back to wreck
