My cry is no longer new
My fear is now just few
My thought, I will gladly hew
Dismayed, I lack hearts on the pew
...
I want to write a poem
But my poem lacks the voice to speak
It lacks sponsors for its beauty
...
"Groundnut! Groundnut! ! Buy your groundnut! " The voice rang.
Oh! A general is gone
There lies an unripe future
...
Little girl, who made you?
Who designed the laughing wool on your head?
It has the colour of Africa
...
You've drown my heart with the ocean of love
You kept it under the spell of your heart
You initiated my fragility into the springs of your agility
My hands can no longer delay to host a smile on your neck
