Emmanuel Odei Oduro Poems

From time immemorial
You have menacingly remained
Despite your costly nature
In spite of your cruel features
...

Are you a chameleon?
Always slow and innocent
Ostensibly minding own business
But really employing your camouflage
...

The struggle has been fierce
Its aftermath evokes tears
But one thing is crystal clear
Quenching the fire the only thing, right
...

He hears my prayers
He answers my prayers
He provides my needs
And guides my deeds
...

Anytime I feel dejected
When I feel neglected
Whenever I lose hope
And feel I am in a hole
...

Holy Spirit Divine descend
Come and take pre-eminence
Move in an unusual fashion
Like on the day of Pentecost
...

How many times have you been warned?
Warned about your behaviour
Behaviour unbecoming of a student
Expected and aspiring to be a star
...

If I were a student
Books will my companion be
Time shall my master be
The library shall my playground be
...

I read your story
You deserve a place in our history
‘Cos your dedication to our cause
Surely, shortened our course.
...

For years this dusty track trekked
Most times on empty stomach
But always full of enthusiasm
Flowing from pride and hope
...
