The Power of Po

The intention is, over time, to record little video clips of my poetry. Often, I get so caught up in how to do it properly, in terms of shooting, that I never get round to anything. This is a poem from my 2005 collection Voices In My Head. The internal debate: do I post the video, the text or the video and the text? I’ve decided to post the video.

Your poetry is so deep it should be tabled in parliament
Your poetry is so deep it gets sharks in the deep blue to pause for 1 minute and 34 seconds to hear you speak, and then continue their cruise
You poetry is so deep in makes high-rise buildings and the people in ‘em wish they were underground
Your poetry is so deep it makes the oxford dictionary hope to be quoted in one of your poems
Your poetry is so deep it makes fellas wonder about the size of their penises and how deep they can go
Your poetry is so deep, it should be considered as bone marrow replacement
Your poetry is so deep, back in the day it had chicks in their sexy voices asking you: “how deep is your love for me Kojo”
Your poetry is so deep that any one who questions how deep your love is for poetry should be institutionalized

So deep it touches the very depth of my soul.

Brilliant words…

So deep it solves Africa’s problems in one verse, so deep it transends racisn and breakdown sexism…I like that!
