The day ends with significant stress for David But to him, this was not a challenge As he walked through the hamlet and passed by an inn, ‘Hello David! Have a drink with men, Come and have some fun, will you?’ A soldier called David passed ‘Oh no, sire, I will be late for… Continue reading Shepherd’s Tales: King David

Biafran Babies
I heard your songs soar through the thick forests, through the fields But the wind hid the song, your voice and your face from the world You were told to keep quiet, but if the hunger won’t let you from crying out Daada will have to drop you, so that the soldiers won’t find our… Continue reading Biafran Babies
Dear diary,
Night falls now…
The city is quiet
Save from toads
Out in the field
And wild crickets
Hiding on the walls
The distinct noises
Of a quarelling couple
Disturb my thoughts
Down on this bed,
I count the days work
There were strange clouds
Up the clouds today
There were tales in my mind
And a quiet time…
Each in different times
Brick walls of school
Playful kids all about
But hey, maths is important
So you must pay attention
Pythagoras, Guassian, Boyle
Books…
There’s a pile on my bed
ODM, Igbo bible, NIV, etc
Teachers Math guide, hmm
A feel of mental work
The streets…
And from the window
The bean-ball vendor
Hawk her products
Nothing really changed
The bank…
Fidelity, we keep our words
Okay oo, I heard you
Then: Have a nice day!
They shout after me
Okay, Teevee…
Flipping the channels
BBC, Brexit, Aljazeera, EU
Obama, Buhari, Ali, Trump
France, Syria, Biafra, Venezuela
Food…
Pick of cracker biscuits
Vit. C, Iodine, peppery soup
Some heavy carbohydrates
And a taste of garlic
The streets busybodies…
They stare always all times
Like very seriously?
You do see me pass
Thru here always, don’t ya?
And street again…
Went strolling and visiting,
Fascinated by the peace in me
Even though the world
Seem to fall slowly apart…
I wonder
What our world
Is fast becoming,
And why kids die in vain
While nations watch war films
But now I recall all
And hope for a better tomorrow
As I retire for the day!
