Idiongo Ebong Poems

These bloodsuckers,
If only they will let us live in peace
These sadists,
Let the planet be as God created it
...

Whatever is happening in this country,
I do not know and I will not try to know
Or even disturb myself about it,
All has always led to dead end.
...

Long all in my life in this world, it hurts,
I had grown to believe that there is no love,
In this world that burns like embers,
Because, I have seen many pains and deaths,
...

The same dog keeps barking
The same problem over and over
And the same stress again and again
Like the repeated hits of a piston.
...

One simple thing that will aid you to survive.
This is not your house, not your father’s;
Not your mother’s not your grandfather’s.
This is my Cathedral!
...

Oh dear Lord, my dearest God,
When on the plains of that beautiful shore
With the flowing spring of live and wealth
And all that beauty could offer to me,
...

They were all amazed that beautiful night
In a land that many thought of as nothing
When your beauty gave light to the world
When your beauty illuminated the universe
...

Who can see those bright stars above the heavens?
Who can hear these songs above the heavens?
See how it illuminates like the brightness of the sun
See how it invigorates like the waters of the beautiful river
...

Where would my poor wretched soul be in the end?
If by any chance thou had changed thy precious mind
And hold back thy precious gift of your Son to me
When my own hand had dug for me my own grave
...

Let that love flow all the way, down to all the men
Bring with it, its blessings to cover the world in maim
Blow, into our soul, the truth. To tell all to the mountain
That tsunamic flow of love that we will never contain
...
