Joseph C Ogbonna Ogbonna Poems

I woke up early on a Christmas morn.
Gladly waiting for Santa before dawn.
Looking through blinds in anxiety I'd torn,
I'd hoped to see him approaching my lawn,
...

Good Morning Grandma.
It really was a hitch free journey
between a tumultuous earth,
and a refreshing dawn
...

What a lovely morn concealed in radiance!
With melodious rhymes sung in ecstasy.
What a pleasant evening spent in Ambience!
With candles glowing in joy's embassy.
...

I am here on an archaeological quest,
to satisfy many a curious mind's request
for knowledge on antiques and artifacts
of Egypt's long extinct historical facts,
...

Fernando, I do sincerely extol thee.
You were as much passionate in symphony
as you were in death, which you faced willfully.
Cursed were the cruel war machines that silenced thee.
...

I love only my kind.
But a world of just
your kind would to
monotony consign you.
...

I bought boots for Christmas to tread the icy plains.
I bought toys for Christmas with Santas in my trains.
I lit my home for Christmas with a Cedar bright.
I made cup cakes for Christmas for my love's delight.
...

Christmas brings lights that lighten every alley.
Christmas fills the void of each heart's saddened valley.
Christmas brings Santa with surprising gifts of toys.
Christmas brings laughter to mainly girls and boys.
...

Sweet Akunna of the forbidden caste,
with breast erect and succulent to taste.
She has marble eyes that blossom by day,
and ivory teeth worth a millennium's pay.
...

A lovely December morning like this,
connotes nothing else in our world but bliss.
A time to mine our richest depths of love
on fifth avenue's apartments above.
...

Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor.
So unassuming, he enters our world
with shepherds lowly coming to adore
this infant Lord who will freedom herald.
...

I heard an old old Christmas song
sung by grandma on Christmas eve.
It wasn't in good stanzas long,
but it did the joyous times retrieve.
...

Chika the angel in the distant clouds.
Treads slowly along the utopic path.
With eternity's splendour in your grip,
you were awoken by melodious sounds,
...

Take me to the land of crystal rivers,
that glitter like a mirror for the gods.
Take me to the height for altruistic lords,
revered by the oppressed for being givers.
...

Take me to the crystal rivers that flow
with calm pristine diamond torrents that glow.
Take me to where all seasonless yields grow
from the effortless hands of men who sow.
...

Joyous angels an entire night spent,
singing with flutes they ceased to relent.
Shepherds lowly pitch their dusty tent.
A story indeed reminiscent
...

He that trod upon subservient Europe
with the imperial guards' fighting prowess,
did himself and his heartthrob the empress,
entrench thrones jointly owned by their hookup.
...

19.

God almighty of generations all,
who did witness great empires rise and fall.
We gladly wait for thy eternal reign,
when saints martyred will beam with smiles unfeigned.
...

On a summer day I saw a pretty dame
bathing in the warm waves of the beach's tub.
She tanned her skin to adorn her slim frame,
massaging its softness with each gentle rub.
...

The Best Poem Of Joseph C Ogbonna Ogbonna

The Cry Of A Wounded Nigerian

Nigeria my beloved home is under siege: A death trap I see in her third mainland bridge. The crying blood of the slain in the North-east overwhelms vicious politicians with guilt. Humans with hearts of beasts ravage her North-west, outgunning her corrupt weakened armed forces. Catacombs of mass graves quantify losses incurred from incessant farmers-herders clash. Darkness looms as stupendous amounts of cash are cast in an energy sector like trash. Her healing centres are no more than health morgues, and her institutions breed intellectual dogs. Her oligarchs of the six zones unify to plunder, rape and line their pockets with filth. With peanuts they entice poverty stricken youths, just to have their sit-tight bids guaranteed them. Indulgences from the gullible gratify custodians of faith endowed with seducing lips. My beloved Nigeria has failed to hearken to the values of the elders before them. With priorities misplaced, we go seeking for stereotyped reputations in our trips to foreign climes for filthy lucre to acquire. Good Lord! When will values my mother-land require?

An unprincipled man is utterly dangerous to himself.

When I depart the realm of the terrestrial, for the splendour of the celestial, do not bury my remains in the valley of the kings. For robbers would move my bones in search of gold rings. I detest sharing the glory of the blue-bloods with them in death. But I would like my molded clay buried in the worm infested earth. Where it would nourish both worm and field, and help moisture give life to mother earth's withered yield.
