ECLIPSE OF THE STARS
The true stars
Are done and gone!
And this constellation of stars
...
THEY TOO ARE IDLE IDOLS
We too can be idols
If fed by chance.
And as long as
...
3. CHAINS AND PAINS
Chains and pains
Form the two sides
Of the coin of life
...
On Mothers’ Day
Will they beat their chests
Today it is mothers’ Day:
A child is left in the cold;
...
LET THE RIVER FLOW
In the sacred name of pipe-borne water
They dammed River Ojirami
And with billions of naira
...
Irony
the rich work like ants
but eat like elephants
the poor work like elephants
...
WITHOUT QUIT NOTICE
They littered the drains
When the rains
Had not come

I Hear Crying Wombs

The Best Poem Of Orifah Samson
Eclipse Of The Stars
ECLIPSE OF THE STARS
The true stars
Are done and gone!
And this constellation of stars
Up the sky
Under the dark continent
Are long star-crossed
And in eclipse…
Stars northern
Dazzle stars eastern
While stars western
And southern
Grope in the dark
Fumbling for the future
Long lavished yesterday.
