Letter to a tyrant.
by
Ephraim Nnawihe
You claim to be a boss to me
And forcefully have your way in me
I may be your assistant
But please keep your distance
I cant stand your uncivilized manner
With all due respect sir''you are mad.
You gain your way to the top
But take away water from our cup
Rendering people homeless gives you joy
You can break or amend as though we are your toy
With all due respect sir''you are wicked
You know much well you cant earn our votes
So you rig the polls and make us scapegoats
You turn female graduates to prostitute
You are a goodman that kills the truth
With all due respect sir''you are a fraud
I will bring transformation to our nation
No nepotism,no discrimination
But you loot our nation's treasures
To satisfy your endless pleasures
With all due respect sir''you are a thief.
You claim to be a man of peace
But kill our children,tear them piece by piece
You spill our father's blood
To prove..you are a lord
With all due respect sir''you are an animal
Time shall come when the earth shall speak
Kill all those things that make you tick
And then the trees shall ring the bells
And birds of the earth your tale shall tell
And the most feeble creature shall say to thee
With all due respect sir''you are under arrest

The craziest and shortest poem I have ever heard!!!
War Of Words (Slam Poetry Competition) Season 1 was fun-filled, exciting and thrilling all the way to the last performance on stage.
I heard poetic pieces that made me smile, some poems made me sober, some were thrilling and a few were simply marvelous.
But one poem stood out, why, you may ask. Well, it was short and crazy. The poet left everyone in the venue waiting eagerly for the next verse as he walked off the stage. Men, "Me likey likey plenty plenty"!!!
Watch the video below and tell me what you think.
Seye La Poet performing at War Of Words - Slam Poetry Competition.
i2X Media, the conveners of Word Up (a quarterly Spoken Word Poetry Event), held the maiden edition of War Of Words (WOW) on June 30, 2013 in Bogobiri, Ikoyi, Lagos.
WOW is a spoken word poetry competition which was organized with the aim of discovering and showcasing young and up-coming spoken word poets.
War Of Words Season 2 will start off from September 2013.
If you can kiss words and make them dance, then this is your chance.
