The Earth Upturned Poem by Eferebo Chibuzor

When last did i see the harmattan?
A beauteous season of nature-
Now, upon the lakes are castles intercept nature,
Angers a ravaging flood!
The NigerDelta would tell you more of 2012
Than the blind and Thomas would.

The cloud's deck deplict by gassoline-
Upon it are angers of cosmic rays on our feeble famishing flesh.


Like a damsel devoured by a gaul,
The earth raped of its beauty
Upon the explore's lust!

I solicit the tornados and hurricane's roar the earth-
Shattered!
Enough of science and its meddling hands,
Tupsy-turvy it rents the earth;
And wings it into eternal abysm!

Oh the absurdity of cloning Springs more of moral evil
And agro upturned tasteless sickly fruits
So sore on my mouth!

Come see the impeccaly beauteous peacock,
Not of surgery and science.
O' the birds at the mountain top,
Trumps the golden roben;
its rhythm comes with healing to the my mind!

Come by the shore
and lean by its breezy life
And hark the thrush,
she too pulls a wonderful audience
And the pine shall play you more lilt the jackson would

Lean by the ocean,
See nature show you more of its might.
And a jaunt through the canoe
shall reveal to you where the world arks.

O come by the nourished mangrove:
Chirr the cricket,
so sweet on my heart!
A raylet smile shall follow of nature's goodness!

Lean by nature
And learn of the lore of ages
for she's a moral teacher!

Come oh frail and feverish world
And see the sun glint-
Its rising from the East of the tropical savannah.

Peace at dusk fall,
The comely yellowy moon gently smiles...
Is that not more magic than the soercerers can?

I have lately not seen the harmattan greet us by -ember
And the rocks have been devoured by the razors,
The rivers we used to play by,
Angrily walking out of sight.
Sickly, my heart is pale!

Come!
Earth at its birth,
I plead,
Come again O beauteous things of nature and forgive our moral evil
