Chijioke Olisah Poems

Mary do you know, you gave birth to a comforter,
Who baked our bread with cheese n butter,
Placed it on our table without a waiter,
Not asking for collateral or trade by barter.
...

When the clock ticks towards the twelve dark night.
His heart trembles with red eyes and goose bumps.
He wishes and prays for six hours to be cut down to one second.
Reminiscing the early hours of the morning,
...

Nigeria, a land where the soil is fertile but the grasses are stunted.
A land where the smiles of the people depicts sadness and the cry of the poor brings joy to the rich.
A land where condemnation of killings from a leader in front of a camera is an obligation.
A land where bomb blast sounds like matches strikes.
...

The dictionary calls them friend,
Someone emotionally close to commend,
With great acquaintance that can transcend,
An ally who you can’t offend.
...

We sleep through the Night,
With hips of tiredness without a sight,
Feeling so dim like a candle light
With interesting dreams like tales of the moon light
...

Just like I heard the phone ring loud,
I just felt wow,
Explaining my heart to bow,
I can’t tell how,
...

Mary - Do You Know?

Mary do you know, you gave birth to a comforter,
Who baked our bread with cheese n butter,
Placed it on our table without a waiter,
Not asking for collateral or trade by barter.
Do You Know,

Do you know, your Male made us famous,
Without being wayward and pompous,
Striving through the path of righteousness without hiccups,
Wrote our names on d successful billboards,
Painted our vision without makeups,
And ushered us into d world with the gospel backup.
Do you know?

Mary do you know
Your Gentleman is gentle in Soul,
Brilliant in Being,
Kind at Heart,
Do you know?

Do you know, your Son never left us abandoned,
Made our sun shine bright even when the day doesn't seem perfect,
He re-wrote our chronicles with sticks of miracles
and placed our feet on a smooth pinnacle,
Do you know?

Mary do you know?
Your Swain took away our pain
Gave us more gain
Made us retain what we never bargained
Prepared our table without a cuisine
And provide different liquid sauces with abundant lumps and grains.
Do you know?

I guess you know,
You gave birth to a Sir,
Who gave me the inspiration to write this,
To touch heart, lives and minds.
