PGEJ.....MY HERO ALL THE WAY.....

My brother, eerie lover

I gave all for your cover

I won't expose, I could cower

Tommorrow is a terrible leper

Who knows? How you will be my brother?

I love you like my life

What you like attracts strife

This rumours keep raging rife



My brother, soul lover

Sleep robber

Dangerous lover

Peaceful fever

Slippery lover, eely brother

Hardened lather, tricky leather

Soul lover...free giver

My lost brother...

Come home...For you we gather...

Forget the matter...let settle and prosper

NIGER DELTA TEARS

I gave my all to humanity

It seemed I gave enmity

I gave my peace to conflict

Broken families and cruel children spits

I learnt my voice to oppression

Many wills suffered depression

I spoke loud in sunrise

My image suffered many dark nights



For every ill I rebuked

A thousand dictators arose

I spoke against tribalism and ethnicity

Other tribes spoke of conquered territories

I spoke for unity

Their actions suggested anarchy

I spoke of environmental degradation

I spoke of depravation and society exacerbation

They saw a common wealth of a nation

The more they spoke nigeria

I was forced to remember Biafra!



There is more hope in resource control

They said we are leeches

We are few

They can trample with shoes

How can a few

Detect our cue?

I am Niger delta...

I have been stung in the stew

KINGS OF AFRICAN STRUGGLES....XENOPHOBIA

My brother, my brother

Son of my mother

Hold on your prized anger

Mighty hunter....mighty panther

My brother, my brother

You curl everyday under the rafter

Unaware of some changes in some matter

Those spear and bows drives the animal to laughter



My brother

When they see your spear they gather

And discuss issues rather than scatter

Our jungle has tasted change. ..mighty panther

My brother...There is so much hunger

It hurts to see you wander

When there is so much for the hunter

These animals have met another panther

Becareful my brother!....brother!!

These animals want shelter from a new master

Son of my father!



You are all that matter

Watch how they refuse to gather

Change your approach

At the back they call you 'coackcroach'

Everything you've done, they question the coach

Please my brother, let's clean this reproach

My brother! Mightiest of hunters!

Prove them wrong in this matter

Accusations is slowly building the banter

They mock us as bastards

My brother, mighty son of our fathers

Look deep in this pranks

Remember to break their ranks

Roar and save this jungle from the hunters!!!

DONT DIVORCE YET.....DONT!

Every body must keep to the ills

Of partnership and wills

Forget the regret after the bliss

Don't divorce! Don't hiss



Careful scrutiny should have been made

Before you married the maid

Why are you afraid of the bed?

You acquired for your beard?



Before you grew tired and frustrated

I hope you didn't poison the hated?

The blame is always on the under rated

Whose opinion is not to be debated



Before you leave what is your proof?

Change your attitude and reproof

Gag some habits in a waterproof

And watch bliss return with a shiny hoof

IN MEMORY OF PROF KOFFI AWOONOR

Hey! Pacy hunter

I thought you were my brother

You are dark like 'our' mother

Should I be afraid of this banter?

Awoonor! Awoonor! Run like the panther

The earth is really a peaceful matter

No longer afraid to hold your anger

Embrace the friendly hunger



They could gloat for whatever wickedness

This killings in Africa is too mindless

Is this really poverty or illiterate redress?

Religious or political harness?

Al-shabab!!! You have murdered

Scattered and plundered

All those you have angered

Families weeping the unfathered



All of us will someday kiss the earth

There is always a redress on your death

Which I'm sure one day, will be red

You will be laid on a burial bed

We won't breathe the dust forever

If you scatter pellets, will it be forever?

There is a season to lose, evil diva

Sullen act of wickedness on a lame river





All of you together is a shortage to Awoonor

Kenyatta and Mahama is it yet uhuru?

Sun of shaka Zulu

Smile on us! Forget this shabab burrow

Who has nothing to offer our world

But deceit of religion on a defenceless mall

Women and children buried in a hall

Writing long history of hatred on a cold wall



And painted our Awoonor on a graffiti

Bragging infamy for countries to writ

To mourn a man who went to read wit

Covered in emotionless wreathe

Our earth is stained again Awoonor

This religion is a provoking donor

Of grief instead of honour

What did we get? Bloodied Awoonor



Legacy has been stained again

What is your gain?

For gunning defenceless men in a rain...

Just to gloat? And inflict pain???

Rest in utopia with the utopians

Cursed remains those fallopians

That bore those barbarians

May they all die in defiance



In memory of Prof. Koffi Awoonor
