Eric Ekinde Poems

If Jesus lived today
he would have hated being born in a manger
for he too would have loved being called a manager,
he would have denied dying so cheap
...

In the morning, i get up and look at my country
the roads pavement are full, loud and a weary
as the young sun, heats the old and scary illucks
while the gardens narrowly close their flowers of Lilas
...

The feeling indelibly is etched in your memory
You get collapsing
And you don’t want to hear any other story
And start to cry inconsolably,
...

As a child, when ever i saw the cattle egret
i knew it was time fowl, yam, chin-chin and rice
so too felt my friend Beatrice
when on cows in the field she saw the cattle egret.
...

I haven't gold
to make this day so bold
but 'cos you are my love
on your birthday
...

My God and father, remain not silent
when men like the bee
on me have risen in violent
and my body is soon to be thrown into the sea
...

God the creator
is my good shepherd
my one and only mentor
who leads me on when all is hard
...

Oh, all was done
when the sun did shine bright
so much energy at work did burn
late it is now, stars and the moon stand right
...

somedays i just wana cry
wen i see haw all is gone dry
...

Since that day,
i have been carried away
i have been trying to stand yet i fall
you know me well for i told you all,
...
