Ozioma Anieto Poems

She made me broken, busted and disgusted,
After all, she left me for another,
Never trust a pretty woman,
She spends your money and wastes your time,
...

The love I have for you died,
Weeks before you become my bride,
Those vows to keep, I tried,
But the love I have for you has died.
...

I saw Samson's hair cut
Baptist whose head was cut
Bathsheba uncovered bathroom
Right under King David's bed room.

The best meal I have ever taken was given to me at will. I never begged nor worked for it. I wasn't told that bullshit "No Food For A Lazy Man". Whenever I was hungry I received, they all knew that man must wack. It was perfectly timed and always fresh or given just to stop my wail.

Often, I felt not like eating…just played with the source. No one seemed perturbed even the meal bank…. Thank God I had no twin, the twin meal was mine alone. Even my old man was generous….all he wanted was for me to be filled. Then, all the attentions were mine… evacuate your stomach and demand for more.

Listen to him, that knows the truth,
Young hustlers, intention so good,
Your hopeless dreams, and foolish thought
Fierce battles surely not against flesh and blood...
...

Some make mistakes while waiting,
Some make mistakes while rushing,
I had made mistakes while waiting and rushing,
And in those mistakes I learnt nothing.....
