Contemporary poetry is a diverse and constantly evolving genre that encompasses a wide range of styles, themes, and forms. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in poetry, with many poets using their work to explore social, political, and personal issues. One of the defining characteristics of contemporary poetry is its focus on the individual experience. Many contemporary poets write about their own lives and emotions, using poetry as a means of self-expression.

DESPOTS
The writing is on the wall
The tyrants must and will fall
And sooner than next fall
For justice we must stand tall
We resist anything short of justice
When we've had such good practice
Never should we ignore the sacrifice
Dictatorships must be put to furnace
This freedom ain't a priviledge
Many patriots were put in a cage
For us to have this free stage
Where we can all freely engage
This is a message to the despots
We now have all the reports
Of your evil destructive plots
But we the people call the shots
You must pay for your transgressions
You know crime has repercusions
The consequence of your decisions
There is no mercy for your violations
We gave you the benefit of doubt
But You thought we were daft
So arrogantly you continued your theft
But time is over now, you must be dealt

Graduation Day
Finally, the day has come
On this moment we beckon
And with gratitude reckon
Upon the unforgettable experiences
This, just but a beginning
As we continue grinding
Purposefully, and joyfully fulfilling
Knowledge thirst quenching.
As you look to the future
There is no measure
Of the exposure
You’ve gained at School
With all best wishes and prayers
I urge to never listen to naysayers
But be the best of players
In this game called life.

HONEST CONVERSATIONS
This is the time for honest conversations
We all must engage without reservations
And strife to end these constentations
Before we plunge into self destruction
The optune moment is now
When we're all in the know
That, this is the wrong flow
We can't afford to go so low
Human decency is God given
Our attrocities even forgiven
Yet we seem inhumanly driven
With our conciousness frozen
We call ourselves progressive
Yet our actions are retrogressive
Loaded with evil possessive
Depicting outright oppressive
Woe unto ye who are silent
When transgressions so salient
And think you're more important
Bewarned, you're just ignorrant
They said we have short memories
And we foolishly believed their stories
Today we have no remedies
As we fear be portrayed as allies
They've turned intellectuals to zombies
Who just regurgitate tribal bigotries
To promote and maintain societal follies
Rather than transform to modern societies
Wake up! Ye of sound heart and mind
Speak up for the sake of humanity
Speak up for the future generations
Speak up for yourselves

THE STRUGGLE WITHIN
Let me just write
When the sun is bright
I now know my right
And for it I must fight
My pen and paper, my weapon
On the gun, I can nolonger hold on
The war is no longer physical
But rather mental and psychological
We need not a guerilla warfare
But vigorously agitate for welfare
It's no longer a one side affair
But a call for all to be true and fair
Each must have a piece of the pie
Even those without the die
It's unacceptable for one to die
Just for asking for a better way to lie
Let's shun our skewed mentality
And together return to humanity
We can have peace, love and unity
And steer our nation to prosperity

WHICH WAY FORWARD
I don't wanna call you shallow
B'coz I believe you can follow
Things might seem a bit narrow
But trust me they ain't hollow
Take note my learned friend
Lest your word might offend
Our efforts, from where you fend
You must pay for all you spend
You insult our intelligence
But I promise you vengeance
For ignoring our grievance
Without mercy we shall cleanse
To correct your moral decadence
I take a solemn vow to desist
From your lame calls to coexist
When you treat me like I don't exist
My last option is to resist
I resist political intolerance
I resist poor governance
I resist ignorance
I resist arrogance
We must get a solution
Even if it's a revolution
We can't live in delusion
And pretend it's better option
It's time for honest conversations
Where we bare our true intentions
To finding lasting,working solutions
That protect present and future generations

CRY OF THE INNOCENT
The cry of the innocent
Will not forgive you,Ignorant!
You even swindled the grant
That was meant for the vagrant
You're filthy and arrogant
Time for retribution is coming
There will be no forgiving
You must pay for your looting
Even if it means shooting
Things must start changing
We are and will no longer be naive
Thanks to this revolution wave
It's democracy that we must save
From this tyrannical swerve
For the sovereign power we have
We hold the key to do better
Our voices must now matter
Before these politicians scatter
And throw all of us to the gutter
As they seek tribal clutter
They've toyed with our emotions
Only to fullfil their evil motions
Totally disregarding our aspirations
We must curtail their skewed intentions
For the sake of future generations
We're all humans first
Tribalism must come last
Lest we destroy our trust
In God who loved us first
