:: Lamentation for Nigeria and Africa ::

The elephant is asleep.
Flies and ants are crawling all over your eyes.
Your precious skin is covered in sores.
Gnats are all over you.
The giant is in deep slumber.

Oh! Colossal, your fringes are eaten up.
Strangers are at your door step.
Your treasures are in ruin.
For you have forsaken your first love: offspring.

How painful to know, oh, Giant
Your children within your walls,
in desperation to live.
Your offspring are dispersed ashore,
For the milk from your bosom dried up.

Tears rolling down my cheeks,
Who will console me?
For the mammoth lay undignified.
Your jewels are debased.
Because your leaders are in quandary

The elephant is trampled upon,
Devoid of direction, wandering in trackless field,
Chaos, anarchy, famine and wars,
Defining the land of plenty.

My eyes have seen your shame,

:: A Chant for 2011 ::

The earth was on mission, a journey into a vision
When suddenly it was jolted,
Shaken through unto it’s foundation.
The rock quivered, as the base trembled.
Unbeknown to the earth inhabitants,
A violent transformation was nigh upon their home.

Flood and quakes round about South East.

the people of the Middle East arose,... Get more...

By night, on my bed, I sought whom my soul loves,
I looked for her but I did not find her.
So, I rode across the Seas, coast to coast.
In daylight and in large areas, I looked for her.
I asked for her from the guards of the counties and cities.
A moment after, I found whom my soul loves.
I held her until the Sun be no more.
The voice of her leaping upon the darkness of the night and the shadow of dusk.
Her eyes are glistering as silver,
Her teeth are set in enamel of snow,
I run to your bosom, your breasts:
Dripping with milk as honey,
To feed your young from your blessed womb.

Until the stars fall to the earth, I will get to these hills of pleasure.
Set me therefore, as a seal upon your heart and a band on your arm.
Dampen not my love but stir.....More
