Uwosomah,E. Emmanuel!

MY MUSE

 

Like magic, she fills me with imagination

She bestows on me uncanny blessing

That transcends earthly understanding

She fills my soul with ancient vibration

I write with wonderful composition

She inspires me with a force so enchanting

Feeding my mind with ideas unending

The aftermath of her immortal inspiration

She is an epitome of immortality

Oh! Beautiful daughter of Zeus

Come more to my soul;

Your gift is perfumed with originality

Your tale remains a mystery news

Consume me more to my sole.

“Hello!”

“Hello?”

…Beep…beep…beep…

Network failure.

“Hello!”

“Hello?”

…Beep…beep…beep…

Sorry, network dead.

 THE BASTARD

 

Don’t blame him

If he didn’t know his father

Be he alive or dead

Is a mystery

In the slums

He was born

An only son

To a ghetto courtesan

Who in ignorance

Took expired contraceptives

So, the mistake of his mother

Brought him into the world - a bastard!


 

TO THE BRIDE

 

 

The animal in man

 Makes him polygamous

 Makes him greedy

 Makes him fight

 Makes him steal

 Makes him not to love

 

 

Every man born is like animal

 They posses animal instincts

 Therefore, they need taming

 Like their counterparts in the jungle

 Bride, ensure to groom your groom

 Before you wed him

 Lest, you marry a beast in man’s garb

 All that glitters is not gold.
