Augustine Ogechukwu Nwulia Poems

Betraying my muteness,
exposing my thoughts,
breaking my silence,
like a hermits' chronicle.
...

Whims within whims,
The nation stumbles and breaks
Penetrating her open wounds,
With the debris of the civil war.
...

The world on your shoulders
radiating your womb with fluids
Like the granary that shadows grains
Sensational diamond amongst creatures
...

Yes, I am hope
tender soul and being,
I am a child
the ones whose future
...

To the bones that births wisdom
And swallows life,
Like sniffing grapes gasping for freshness;
That the nation may one day
...

When eagles lofted,
And roasted with their kinds;
The neuters were munched with muds.
And maggots were of preferred sorts
...

A beaming light on a naked street
like the city's torch bearer
scooping the earth for a doozie
with rabid consciousness and vigilance.
...

Martyr of venom
with loads of guilt; cringing in terror
His heart was heavy
Like the elixir of hope
...

(In Honour of Prof. Buchi Emecheta)


For the joy of consciousness
...

For the love of
powerful imaginative rendition
that pours my instincts
experiences and feelings
...

Carnivorous earth;
when shall we purge you
of your ingested preys
Like the unbridled beast
...

I tossed for goodness
but then, I was drained
by throbs of pain
denied by guts to reined in glory;
...

My teacher
Shares out of largeness
Spits saliva on my head
Like the insect larva that swells
...

Childhood was sweet and creamy,
before the bitter madness of adulthood.
A thousand offences and spanks
yet, with scars of correctness;
...

(In Honour of Prof. Chinua Achebe)


Mountain ranges in the east wind,
...

The Best Poem Of Augustine Ogechukwu Nwulia

My Pen, My Voice

Betraying my muteness,
exposing my thoughts,
breaking my silence,
like a hermits' chronicle.

Alienating my wishy-washy state,
provoking a consciousness.
Breaking the yoke of fear,
stirs up a doggedness.
With an askance glance,
a nefarious activity is detected.

In truth, we stand!
In wisdom, we believe! !
In lines and verses, we speak! ! !

Gazing at the sky,
casting my mind back,
Oh! Rabeeya's thoughts...
'A writer is a human being,
trying to create places,
between words and spaces'.

I do it for the people,
I do it for the depressed,
I do it for the downtrodden,
I do it for those folks who still believe in redemption,
I do it for love,
I do it for humanity.

Holy thy pen,
mightier than sword,
soaked in wisdom,
possessed with power.

To say that the ink is dry,
is an abjure of moral allegiance;
an abuse of elementary divine-ordinance.

With an exceptional effulgence,
it echoes my thoughts.
My ink, my voice!
