A Nigerian Writer

Nigerian Writer: Love Felix Brambaifa The heart of love is truth Its strength, in its root Its charity in its abundance Like stars in a celestial dance Each moment the passing of magic Potent against the most tragic Its patterns, indeed most divine Like illumination, its essence do shine I pray to come in contact A union with this ancient fact When savages make righteous claim And in gentleness find no shame I have seen its presence before Come to reside in our mortal shore With a message tangible and sublime Like the medley of natures rhyme Some say its abode to them unknown But isn't it to all men clearly shown That our soul the eternal fount Humanity, the seed to forever count Nigerian Poet

Nigerian writer: Irony Author-Felix Brambaifa A place of choice Outside the forceps of grief Liberates one's voice Like a long incarcerated thief The truth was said Of when man's need be sated His greed misplaced Transcends limit, unabated Fulfillment is not in numbers But in the ideas we hold So it is indeed no wonder That even the rich grow old When man desires a thing His will, soon, deeply perverted Defiles his natural being For desires not truly wanted But through all this exist a glaring contradiction Of many a thing gone amiss As if by heavens decision Nigerian Poet
