Africa, Beautiful yet unappreciated
Africa, Sahara to the Atlantic
Africa, From Zulu Land to Yoruba Land
Africa, From Nile River to River Niger
...

The entity that is dreaded by all but ever present everywhere, a non-respecter of age,
Poverty does not have regard for race, nor nationality, as it is present in every part of the globe,
Poverty breeds diseases, it has siblings like misery, ignorance, illiteracy, dejection, rejection, degradation, agony,
Poverty means the difference between haves and have-nots, the rich and the poor, the upper and the lower class,
...

Hillary, Great Woman of all time.
Hillary, Great wife of a Great Man,
Hillary, Great Mother of a Great daughter,
Hillary, Great in her chosen profession,
...

Who needs you,
why do they call you second,
What is your chance,
When I fail to meet the expectations,
...

SPECIAL SOMEONE, THAT I CAN CONFIDE IN
SPECIAL SOMEONE, THAT GIVES A BROAD SHOULDER TO REST ON
SOMEONE THAT HELPS KEEP MY SECRETS, BOTH CLEAN AND DIRTY
...

DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN IT’S GOING TO HIT YOU
WHEN IT HITS YOU, YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
EVEN IF YOU DENY IT, IT IS STILL THERE AND DOGGEDLY FOLLOWS YOU

Mother.
Who is she,
The one that toils and wails.
The one that cries when I lack.
...

Life, Life, Life, Life,
Life, is what you make of it, some will say,
Life, is up and down, a roller coaster others will say,
Life, is what you see as your daily activities,
...

What a bright sunny day, the day long awaited for glory,
What a day set aside for long distance runners the world over to showcase their talents,
What a day, when all eyes were focused on the east coast of America,
What a day, when lovers of Marathon were glued to flat panel screens,
...

10.

Did I choose you to be my parents
Did I choose to come to your household
As I watched the sun set and sun rise,
Day by day, wondering and lamenting
...

She was dark,
she was beautiful
She was promising,
What names did you not call poverty
...

Machinery in the hands of Aristocrats,
Toiling day and night,
Falling short in every way possible,
Always in the middle, middle of nowhere,
...

A monster came to Vegas, to massacre.
He came not for the fun but to kill the fun.
He snuck into a hotel, he took his time to dine and wine.
He mingled with the crowd, he took his time to survey his targets.
...

The certainty of the passage of time, periods, seasons add up to bring future,
The inevitability of what it will be, and what should be,
The progression of events that will aggregate to become expectancy of what would be,
The days and nights, the toils of daily labor, the dreams of what life should be,
...

They heard loud noise; bang! , bang! ! , bang! ! !
The noise was not from shattering glasses,
The noise was not from bangers of Christmas,
The noise came from a monster looking these angels in their faces,
...

Mandela! , Mandela! ! , Mandela! ! !
What can I say about you, for you were everything most people wished they could be.
Madiba, you chose the hard option when faced with multiple choices including the most favorable option of silence.
Mandela, you lived and died for ideal that all men were born equal, with same anatomy and endowment from same creator.
...

Komlar Dumor; 1972-2014.
Suddenly, seriously? ., Seriously? .
Komlar is gone?
Adieu Komlar, what a colossal loss,
...

My Girl.
My Girl, my princess, my gem,
It seems like yesterday when I held you in my hands as a tot,
The cries of new life, new arrival to the family,
...

They come in various shapes, sizes, ages, genders, and skin colors.
They are from all nationalities, races and denominations.
They come with different books, pamphlets, and other literature.
They toil to build shelters for the homeless, they provide food for the hungry, they cloth the naked, they give care and provide hope for the sick, they visit those in prisons, they provide water for those thirsty.
...

Snowman, You are Mr Winter.
Snowman, How I love to see you everyday.
Snowman, I can only see you on those eerie cold days of winter months.
Snowman, sometimes short, sometimes tall.
...

The Best Poem Of SEGUN RASAKI

Africa

Africa, Beautiful yet unappreciated
Africa, Sahara to the Atlantic
Africa, From Zulu Land to Yoruba Land
Africa, From Nile River to River Niger
Africa, Rain and Sunshine round the year,
Africa, With her greenery lustre
Africa, With Coolness, Calmness, a Serenity unequal
Africa, Your hospitality and warmth taken for granted
Africa, Raped and left desolate, yet richly blessed
Africa, Your Children scattered all over the World crying for you
Africa, You are simply mine Africa.
