WORDS OF A DYING POET_ Membis Godwin

I have traveled to all edges
I know the worlds entrance and exit
Where seas flow from and to
The real colour of the Ancient Rainbow

I hear the words of all creatures
And knows when a flower smiles
My black hairs have grown bard
It have with wisdom been painted

But, now am dying gently
My rear knowledge shutting calmly
All I've acquired will recieve shelter
By gasket,decay and grow a diamond flower

I wish I could be buried naked
My flesh aside my knowledge
NATURAL PRAYER_ Membis Godwin

My Lord: my God,I say this prayer not for me,
But the One in my heart
who 've stood by me:
That my languishing sympathetic friend
Who walked with me in wilderness till end.
I pray not for Favour,fame nor wealth:
All would end soon with conquering death.
Health and friends to mary with: I don't pray
Rather,for what that would always stay
Here and here-after_ all in peace of mind.
I pray for that to in that weary-heart stand,
Watered daily by what the eyes sees,
What nose breath and what the soul feels.
May the slim Spirit grow strong and mature
And may my Friend fall in love with Nature.
I am the sun
Once alone; almost free
Captured by the Tiger
Surrounded by the killer whale
Dying by trigger

I am the sun
The yellow bright sun
Over shadowed by darkness
Yet, rising and shining in darkness

I am the sun
Skeleton of the black wolf
Whose name currently I bare
And by her skin am engulf

I am the sun
The great enslave sun
Caged by a greedy giant
Whose arms are ready
Sharp and steady

I am the sun
The rebellious small sun
Under the sky
Fighting for freedom
To fly high the sky

I am the sun
Strong and mighty
Fearlessly
Shouting ceaselessly
For the freedom of my sons

I am the sun
In the bay of Atlantic ocean
Across river Niger
Centered by Imo river.
Nigeria free we Biafrans
And stop killing us.
