Festus Okwekwe Poems

Pronounce my name ‘purr'fectly
If you want me to answer you correctly.
If you call a woman woeman so you can
Manipulate confidence out of her existence
...

I know, to a man
A woman is so many things,
It's the so-many-things I need to know.
...

The casualties are not only those who are dead;
Their anguish has come to an end
Though they await burial by whatever means.
The casualties are not only those who got infected
...
