The phenomena in my country
In recent times, like aphrodisiacs,
Are jerking my quills
With erection to wind another yarn.My paper lays bare
On my night bed
Like a waiting bride on her first night,
And I will […] -

The affair of wee mortals
With our planet has gone awry again;
Crabby like the acrid taste of long kept palm wine.
We mask our depredation with mendacious diplomacy.
Hence this social distance between us and […] -

He’s a physician who gave charges cheap.
As such, he lived in a hut i […] -

Of all novelists now living or dead,
My friends, I owe this poem to Clive Cussler’
A writer that’s come to live in my head.
Only for him, I would not write proper
On such way-back subject as Titanic
He too […] -

They lied when they told us a man must first die
Before seeing either heaven or hell.
Because they are palpably alive with us here.Hell is neither beneath us nor heaven above.
They meet on our street side […] -

The most apt metaphor to describe
My beautiful country, Nigeria, is darkness.
Black is beautiful, as our complexions are dark.It is so dark in here because there is no light.

We are in a country
Where poetry or rhetoric does not matter.
What matters really is flattery.
Sycophancy!
So my people are now like:
Any-government-in-power;
Anywhere-belly-face
Because what really matters […] -

Idiong Divine wrote a new post, Call me what you May 4 years, 6 months ago
I am many things but confused
I know myself in depth
But somehow have I lose grip
On issues that concern me
And even though I so much want to,
