I find the rule of the latest poetry assignment to be ridiculous. I am talking about the rule that a child's poem must start with "in a far away land" or "once upon a time". These two starting lines are the most cliche and cheesy lines one could use in 2015. I even tried starting a poem but felt foolish and had writer's block after writing the first line "in a far away land". Even funnier, is the fact that I was writing about a story set on the sea. Land > SEA No offense meant........... |

A CRY FROM BAKASSI I am called a Child from the Gutter Because in my Clan our Wallets stutter Jubilation is absent when my people gather Because hopes and aspirations have gone asunder In my Clan survival belongs to the fittest If you cannot contend then you take a rest For if the bird does not leave its nest The hunter cannot make an arrest Pity Patter Pity patter! Here comes the rain Each of us, Bowls in hands taking bail Flooded homes, our possessions on the sail Patched roofs, blocked drainages, our efforts in vain Rain! Sun! Harmattan! We go no where For after the rain we know the sun will appear To dry up and bring back that which we hold dear Our land, our home, we are going no where In Rain and in Shine we endure this pain Of Diseases and Sicknesses our Children are slain Living with Crabs and Frogs in full disdain Waiting for Government to no avail Like the Bat we are neither here nor there For Our brothers have sold us for a plate of Pottage Our buyers see us as excess Baggage Oh Bakassi! My Bakassi when will the day break? |

SELF RELIANCE Teach me how to fish Give me no more fish So I can enjoy and relish From my own pond of Fish I want to be free Like leaves on Trees Owing no man no fees Because I was born free I do not want to beg Before I eat an egg I want my farm to tend So for my own I can fend For now that I am young And the carefree world I belong But I dread to wallow too long Before you leave for the great beyond So teach me today How my nest to lay So when I come of age I will have no war to wage 1 Like |

If not for the stars embedded in you . And the sharp five edges engraved in your artistry . To pierce the walls of the Edenic centuries . Depriving darkness its blindness . Lightening the candles of my father's fathers . If not for you . Peace to my piece....written by 'ONYEMA COURAGE' comments and critics please? Love you starz! |
