Two Psycho-Poems by Babajide Michael
October 28, 2016 · by Bravearts Africa	· in POETRY.	·
Babajide Michael, in an email cover note to his latest piece, unveils something of the creative muse behind his pungent psycho-poems. “In a society where young writer’s efforts are unknown and given scarce attention,” he writes, “it seems appropriate to me to consider the psycho-social implications of this neglect and abandonment, especially when writer’s writings are only celebrated through, or giving editorial audience under, the periodic benevolence of literary contests and call for submissions.” We hope that you enjoy as well as engage the poems. —Editors-in-Chief
SchizoPoetrenia – 1
(dedicated to the unknown writer)
i know a voice whose I, rhymes. dont rhyme with life
i know a verse, pride
not proud. whose muse. cant win a prize
the editor’s thought preemption seen
unseen. the cadence soundless yet heard…
Dionysian contest. Dionysian contest
peep pee p ing into Greece — from Nigeria
oeuvre grows a big eye lines sprout wings to fly…
Nobel fight; Nobel BrittlePaper’s Out of Bound
of delus sion though in paranoid
escape, am SchizoPoetrenia —
whose eye is a ghost yet lives big and bold…

a cassava turns me down
a republic picks me up
