THE COMMON LAW AND EQUITY
I wrote this poem in 2000 after I finished a course, 'Nigeria Legal System' in my second year at Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma where I read Civil Law. I found the blend of both edges of the law fascinating. This will be better understood by people who understand the legal system of the Commonwealth of Nations as well as Christians who understand what Apostle Paul meant by the Law and Grace in his epistles.

Mannequin Who Loves
Commenting on a rather bizarre fascination with model-like mannequins on display in a local shop always dressed in the latest fashion while walking along Main Street at night behind her tall pane of glass....so just just kinda going with it......pure poetry needs really no reason ay all....just rhymes sometimes....right...??
A Quiet Shoreline
The sonnet is reflective of a quiet nightime stroll down by the sea on those rare occurrances when the sea is calm and all the stars are out shining brightly. I contemplate what I must do to capture this feeling and make it last in my mind.
WHEN GOD IS NUMBER ONE!

Train to now where
The wheels turn the noise echos on the tracks voices heard chit a chat music loud deafens ones ears One longs for peace and solitude Destination known One travels to destinations end where one goes one is unknown till one arrives

Byegone London.

Spring is just around the bend. Look at how all the stars have shifted in the night sky!
PEACE AND SOLITUDE
LOTS OF TREES IN THE DISTANCE THE RIPPLING WAVES ALONG THE SEA SHORE OVER TO THE LEFT A SMALL BOAT RISING UP AND DOWN ON THE RIPPLING TIDE CLOSE TO A SMALL ISLAND THE GENTLENESS OF THE RIPPLING WATERS FLOWING IN AND OUT BY THE EBB Of THE TIDE
My angel
In of all the world and of all the time When Technology hides God's True Power Full of mystery, love and without rhyme She brings joy to my heart at this very hour. Invisible for all but me to see Is her light and her wings that makes her soa
