We never said goodbye
Gazing through the gates
I could see no sign of her
Staring down at my watch
I asked when is she coming?
Whispering to myself quietly
I could feel the emptiness
Wondering about her time of arrival
I asked when is she coming?
Sitting and waiting in vain
I could see moments passing by
Thinking of what to say to her
I asked when is she coming?
Counting every tick of the clock
I could see only a vacuum
Regretting to tell her that
We never said goodbye

For the late Mrs Atio M Kine.
Children of tomorrow
Children of tomorrow
Where have you all gone?
I see deserted parks
And classrooms near empty
Children of tomorrow
What have you done?
Damaging property
Petty theft is your charm
Children of tomorrow
Why are you so cruel?
There is so much violence
In you who are so young
Children of tomorrow
When will you understand?
The consequences you reap
Depend upon your deeds
Children of tomorrow
Know I speak the truth
If you are corrupted
The future will be doomed
By Daniel Sakumai
My name is crack
My name is crack, I知 here to deceive
I値l make you crazy, should you believe
I値l tear down homes and mess up lives
I値l fill your head full of lies
You値l be falling in my trap
Yes. You値l be the one to take the rap
I値l make you kill, steal and destroy for me
I値l distract you from becoming what you want to be
I値l damage your brain cells
and make you deranged
I値l make it so hard
For you to change
I値l make your life a living hell
I値l cause you to be put in jail
I知 your worst enemy
And I have no sympathy
You値l be on your hands and knees wanting more
You値l be damaged to the core, completely
I値l make things become an illusion
I値l make you full of confusion
So if someone offers you some of me
You壇 better resist
If you don稚 you値l be another
On my hit list

The singing cat
Meow, meow, meow
Cries the cat
A large black one
Eyes flaming red
Teeth white as paper
Below the window it sits
Like a baby it cries
With the voiceless, silent wind
Its cries drift into my room
A lone, curious figure
Sat I, listening to it
By Job Zigu
