Henry Akuete: My Poems and some

Just yesterday I heard the news Of a plane that dropped from the sky blues Now that's common when you fly in nigeria Planes fall like snow in siberia But for idleness I asked who was onboard And lo I heard its men with some blue blood yokowa and azazi; names they called Crashed to death in the dark creek's mud Crashed they said though foul the sound For killed I heard when the whispers came 'round Listen and learn if you want to know more As death is sent by men who hold law Azazi was one who talked too much About a party and a king and a burning church He said we die because of PDP And that the party is as poisonous as DDT Now we all know what happpens to that lot And to people who speak about the rot Usually they get a letter bomb And accidentally fall to an early tomb But azazi died in a funny plane crash and someone surely got bounty cash To kill a man now thought a liability And an embarassment to the dark fraternity Now we all kno...

Away and beyond away From where the sun sets today Be a place of many and few Where the king is thief and fool Stories be told even today Of that old place where crime is play Nothing will work in your area Rich and hungry is Nigeria  Take a walk my friend on a hot sunny day To the place where the reps and lawmen stay But don't be shocked at what they say For all they do is loot and play Bound and named by a white prince's whore  Nigeria is old but a fool much more Country yes but nation a no A neighbour is none but a jewish igbo  "Kill that man" they shout on the street A land with none but hate and beef Tribe is all that spells your fate Could get you a job or bloody your face Down and beyond is that dark place Don't go there to that wild state If you ever heard a Nigerian's story Then know ye that its "No Love Country"

Oh gone be the spoils of life Squandered on the longings of vanity Rushing to the setting sun Age rushed me to impromptu sleep Alone on a lonely death bed Surrounded by none that know me I wish I did most differently But aye life runs a straight course Gone be the smiles of youth Gone be the days of old Gone be the days I saw Gone be the me that was Wish me for a silver coin A coin of sighs and sorrow To take me to a life after A coin; material due for Charon Call my brother; call my sister Call my friend and my kinsman If any yet be alive today To tell a tale of my last day A day I was alone to my thoughts A day I learnt the wisdom of loneliness A day I lay breathing but my last A day I left on death's lonely bed

All comes to conspire In the course to consume me Life becomes a murky mist Condensing to soak my lungs I thrash and i scramble Seeking to find respite How i live is mystery For death is all that greets me All my hands are forlon All i do becomes weary A smile is but a wish Laughter a kings ransom I yearn to gasp again To fill my lungs with purpose I need to rest a while For a while i need to breathe

shoot!!!! EUREKA!!!!.....in deep thought about the metaphysics of the origin of time it has dawned on me that since according to the law of relativity (E=mc2) nothing can move faster than the speed of light and the speed of light is the universal constant for the interactions of space time, then GOD is obviously that constant...the constant that moves at that speed....God is the light as the bible always said...he is the electromagetism that holds the universe together...and according to the law of relativity, time is eternally existing with no beginning or ending....that means the constant that is God is eternal and is the source of matter as we know it...the eternal energy that condenses to form the matter of the universe (according to the law of relativity energy condenses to form matter and matter is broken down to release energy), to form all the energy we refer to as life, existent in all beings...God is the embodiment of the universe, he is the eternal constant ...

It is another Sunday and people have gone to church...i didn’t go but as I usually do when in solitude, I meditated upon the essence of my subliminal existence in the mysterious expanse of the cosmos. What keeps striking me is the disparity between the accounts of science and those of my Christian religion concerning the origins of the universe. I’m a learned individual and also intrinsically religious albeit spiritual in my disposition and perspectives. This thus creates an enigmatic conflict in comprehending or seeking explanations to my existence as a man. However, today while engrossed in retrospection, I came upon an impromptu resolution of the divergence between science and religion. This has been my 'holy grail' in my quest to resolve this philosophical paradox akin to Einstein’s quest to find a solution for the Unified Field Theory. I was so excited when it dawned upon me that science and religion are one and the same and none of both are exclu...

In the space called life lurks beings in the dark and the light those that move and those that touch some come to stay and some to nought  i feel the lot and none is awake i seem like the only one in the day that breaks yet in the last days i found a soul in the dark with a torch that brought the spark its a she! my heart alights i feel the essence that eludes my eyes she connects beyond the physical with a bond akin to the chemical i feel alone no more for another for a kind of another mother out of the dark she came and darkness fled her flame oh i seek no more for one for all i seek is now undone my eyes can now retire for i found what i once inquired: The ONE I NEVER MET
