Poets' Corner
The great conquest
Man;You were commanded
At creation;
Because you were good.
And naked;
To conquer and subjugate
The earth and its riches.
Then you clothed yourself
In flowing robes,
And called the nakeds foolish.
Your stardom is notorious
And outlandish in styles.
How many times,
You conquered yourself over?
Have you outclassed your deeds!
Where then are your laurels?
Man;
Where are you?
On the road to evaporation.

Akeh-Ugah Ufumaka
The rights of man
We are human beingswho have the right to live
We have to live in a human world
without terror and repression.
We are all creatures of God
Black and white have the same right
to live.
Let the black and white reach their hands.
We have to live in peace.
We are all human beings
who have the right to fight
We have to fight for a human world
without terror and repression
We have to make revolution
in God's name.
We want to live in peace.
We are all human beings.
who have to fight against the ruling class.
and those who cause us so much pain.
But without terror or violence,
we have to live in peace.
