The Athelets

IT WAS IN A RACE
           FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT
           AMONG , I WAS IN RACE
           AMONG THE HEADS FOR SUCCESS
           
           
           SOME SPECTATORS BOO
           SOME SPECTATORS WOO
            SOME ATHLETES FELL 
            ON THE TO SUCCESS

            THEY DANCE TO THE TUNE
            OF BOOING SPECTATORS
            I DANCE TO THE TUNE
            WOOING SPECTATORS

            DESTINATION , WE ARRIVED
            AND FORTUNE SMILE ON ME

The Third Coming

The first duo 
The candidate we can trust

Manifesto reads 
War against corruption 

The second duo
The best man for the jobs

Manifesto reads
The rule of law prevails 

The apex of the duo 
 The life shortened

The good interred 
With his bones 

Emerged from the interred 
 Bones of the second goods 

The third duo 
Manifesto wears 

Re branding Nigeria and Nigerians 
Witnessing is dislocation 

Witnessing is development 
Of predators

Maimings and murders 
Here and there 

The predators 
Is a celebrated gladiators

The manifesto 
Is like glint 

Let there be 
Food on the table,

Sleepiest sleepyhead,
Foundation of a state 

Engaged youths  
Re brand served and serving Nigerians

The Sun Sets

HERE COME THE PARTAKER
HERE COMES THE UNDERTAKER
IS IT THE JUSTICE
IS IT THE PRACTICE

THE PARTAKER IS KNOWN
THE UNDERTAKER IS UNKNOWN
JUSTICE PARTAKER ROLLS ON
WHEN THE SUN SETS

WHEN THE SUN RISES 
THE LENGTH OF THE JOURNEY 
UNPREDICTABLE IT IS 

THE SUN IS A  DEMOCRAT
TRIBUTES TO THE SUN
FAREWELL TO GANI FAWEHINMI

Money,The Blackgold

Money,in search of you
Traitor appears
Either to kill
Or denigrate

The trustworthy gets less
The sycophant demagogically gets more
The former becomes worse
The later becomes blessed

Money, your raison d'etre
Misinterpreted by your interpreter
Your searcher on do-or-die
In your search 

Money,you are hijacked
By the black baron
To rule the innocent
To  suppressed the oppressed

In search of  you
Sycophancy adopted
Decency aborted
Inconsistency applied 
But, consistency implied

Money, your whitish regalia
Turned blackish in nature
Stained with debris
By your researcher

Your searcher, in existence
Becomes asset
But in eternity
Becomes inordinate bad count.

Demain

Il revient toujour

il ne reveint pas aujourd'hui

c'est lui qui donne le bijou

comme le cadeau depuis

 

l'horloge lui meme

n s'arretes que l'homme

il fait comme il faut

mias, il donne des cadeaux

 

ses cadeaux  c'est  pour

l'homme de tous les jours

qui fait comme il faut

 

l/horloge conduit

demain donne le bataeu

et, l'homme s'assieds

Before My Demise

MY SHELTER,
I SHALL POSSESS
BEFORE MY DEMISE

MY HORSE,
I SHALL RIDE
BEFORE MY DEMISE

MY GENERATION
I SHALL REGENERATE
BEFORE MY DEMISE

MY APEX ,
I SHALL REACH 
BEFORE MY DEMISE

EVERY MAN,
 I SHALL BRING 
UNDER MY FOOT
BEFORE MY DEMISE

THE ENTIRE GLOBE,
I SHALL REACH
BEFORE MY DEMISE

BUT, AFTER MY DEMISE 
ALL TURNED VANITY
WITH MY SINGULARITY
IN INTERMENT 

BEFORE MY DEMISE 
SELF-CENTERED,
EGOISM,
INTRANSIGENCE,
AND INORDINATE AMBITION
MY IMBIBED CULTURE

WHY MY DEMAND FOR ALL
AS SINGULAR ACHIEVABLE
DEMISE IS THE MAN
ACHIEVABLE

Newly adopted toddlers mourN
Indemnity as locus  standI

Rodeo on the wealthy riveR  
Irrevocable superminI
And the black gold run et ceterA 
Nobles with black gold gains remaiN


Spectacles of other specieS

Ne'er-do-well holds the horN
No one remembers the mooN
Expatriate  the extra farE

The Lion Building

IN YOU WE RELY
IN YOU WE APPLY
WHY ARE YOU UNDER DURESS
WHILE YOUR DISTRIBUTION

IN YOU I EARN
IN YOU I LEARN
BUT YOU ARE UNDER DURESS
AND I AM UNDER DURESS

WHY DO YOU HATCH
THE HYPOCRITICAL EGGS UNDER WATCH

THERE, IT IS ONE- MAN OPERA
LOYALISTS ARE THE ZEBRA
STOOGE S ARE THE ALPHA

AS THE DAYS WALK
THEY TALK AND TALK
IN THE LION BUILDING
COUNSELING OFFICE IS METAMORPHOSIS
AS POPULAR DISCIPLINE

EVEN GREEDY HYENA
FORBIDS THE MEAT
OF THE YOUNGER ONES

IN THE LION BUILDING
THE MEATS OF THE YOUNGEST
IS THE DELICIOUS CAKES

IN THE SAID BUILDING
YOU HIRE AND FIRE
THE INNOCENTLY HIRE
IN THE MOST POPULAR DEPARTMENT

IN THE LION BUILDING
THE KEEP TRAFFIC FLOW

Intransigency

WHY ARE YOU POPULAR?
IN PARTICULAR
WHY ARE YOU AN EMPLOYEE?
IN OUR MODUS OPERANDI

AND THEY ARE NOT ASHAMED
FOR YOU TO BE BLAMED
AND THEIR GENERATION
SAME CHILD OF ADOPTION

INTRANSIGENCY, LEAVE MY ELDORADO
AGED, LEAVE THE NATALITY INTO TO
WITH THE CHILD INTRANSIGENCY
IN OUR BELOVED ELDORADO

Coward Masquerades

You are called faceless
      BECAUSE YOU ARE SHAMELESS
      YOUR MURDER AND MAIM
       SENT TO THE INNOCENTS
          
       GROWTH OF GERMS
       INDEED, YOUR INTERESTS
      TO GOD, YOU WEAR FEARLESS
       TO EARTH, YOU WEAR BOKO HARAM
    
       YOUR PENULTIMATE RETREAT
        INDEED, MEMORABLE HEART HEAT
        FORWARD YOUR RETREAT
        TO THE SPEARHEAD OR THE GIANTS
         OR, DIVULGE YOUR IMAGE
        NOT GENTLE BOKO HARAM
