POEMS: Inmates of time

-

By Victor Uzodinma Chukwuma

92. Nigeria 1984

Oneness is

no longer brief

like an afternoon siesta. 

Darkness

no longer hovers

like a pack of vultures.

The helmsman

no longer shuttles

while the nation in desolation burns.

Their cover

will soon be over

like a dry season  drizzle.

Don’t ask why.

Victor Chukwuma, Professor of Physics, renowned for his immense contribution to the development of Astronomy and Space Science in Nigeria, is a Fellow of the Astronomical Society of Nigeria and the Nigerian Institute of Physics.
