Augustine Ogechukwu Nwulia Poems

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
...
