My Girl in Hell
when i heard;
i mean
when they told me
you were dead,
i did not cry;
i simply went
and died.
and then
i asked lucifer
to bring
me here,
for i knew
you must be
in hell.

End of my Poem
I dedicate my years
Into writing poems
For you, but now that
You're gone
What more can I write?
This mark the end
Of my poems,
From my heart I loved you,
God knows I loved you.

Conviction
You look in the morror
and say you are ugly;
And you go out everyday
looking really angry.
God does not judge
by outward appearance;
You should have a little
room for forbearance.

My Brother in America
My brother in America
It's been long you left
Please remember me now
That I dont want to go
Save me now that I have hope
Tomorrow might be too late
Too late to invite me
When I'm late.

Fading Hopes
My hopes, fading
Into shadows
Of my dreams
In my dreams,
It is only you I see
My arms outstretched
For the warm welcome
Of your embrace,
But only then, I saw you
Fading into my reality.

A Woman is Faster
The wealth I am seeking
Kept me breathing
Found it lies in my mothers kitchen
Still I can't reach for it without this difficulty.
Women can get to it faster
For they know where it is hidden.

Wealth
The wealth I am seeking
Kept me breathing
Found it lies in my
Mothers kitchen
Still I can't reach for it
Without this difficulty.
.
Women can get to it faster
For the know where it
Is hidden.

The Way to Hell
Oh Mighty Lord, God
Of the Abrahamic religion
It is your shrine I am coming
In the prayer I made;
Let the road to your abode
Be as wide
As the sky
And the way to Hell as narrow.
As a needles eye.

You Lie There Naked
You lie there naked
In angry hatred
What does he know
If you can hold his hope
Just release him!
If you are a police
That bound him in agony
You are in felony
There'll be judgement day
Christ says.

A Rhyme Of Lagos
Lagos, City of the idle
Here I come, to join
in this struggle,
Tho' you pretend to be busy
But life here isn't easy,
A decade is long enough
time to be away from home
But here in lagos, I still
find hope.
