Introduction to a historical account of poverty in Africa
(Opinions)
16-01-2005
by Simon

(Poetry)

in Africa especially my country Nigeria
men with pot bellies have been made synonymous with wealth

now we set up for this...
My Name
(Poetry)
22-05-2004
by Simon
Though I was murdered for too long
But never put an end to the sun nor moon.
Therefore I live
I live in one too close for comfort
Until the sun and the moon
Shine no more
I live in him
My name is J-U-S-T-I-C-E
Oh Nigeria

Oh Nigeria
Middle child with infant tales
Plains of uncertain destiny
Awake Africa, awake Nigeria
Oh beloved son of stranger
Call on God
Echo the song of unity
For there lies our strength
And in our diversity lies our
Destruction,...

Sorry We Have to Part
(Opinions)
23-05-2004
by Simon
Anyway all that needed to be said has been said
All that needed to be told has been told
Destiny is fortunes not made by our decisions
Yet you want to eat your cake and have it
That is something that can’t happen under the sun
Nor the moon...
The Journey
(Opinions)
9-07-2004
by Simon
It was a journey started by many
But it was a deceit covered by many
Although it was like rain in fire for many
But that was the way they used in tricking many
It was almost like a thousand years
But never was a common grace
As all was...
The Last Call
(Poetry)
1-05-2004
by Simon
With passing tears
And sorrows tear
Like lighten light
In distant night
And thunderstorm
In fire form
Spreading shield
With bitter sheet
Life is lost
And time is loose

With deeper touch
And life was left
In...
The Sacrifice

by Simon
The sacrifice
I dedicate this poem to all parents
Under the sun
Moving towards the sun
Clothed by the dust
To put a dream to the their sums
To be divided by their sons
With low, lovely sing songs
Laying low living life
So as to keep...

(Opinions)
21-05-2004
by Simon
All we see is today, today and today
All we hear is tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow
Yet never was it seen yet not a day past without a say of tomorrow
And never came but heavy words
All this was part
Part of whatever remained green,...
Who is to Blame?
(Poetry)
23-05-2004
by Simon
"You can’t blame them"
I’m not blaming them though
In their place you would have done same
They brought pressure
Filling up the vacant land
So is the corridor of power like
They weren’t born trouble makers
But made
Made by our society...
Yet Another Day
(Poetry)
12-05-2004
by Simon
Not again but let me alone
Not again but won’t let me alone
Men lost in shame,
Waiting to honour their dead, yet not alone.
Several years of masters seal
And many years of countless grief
Sorrows of unending times
Laughed buy men who...
