Great Akinwande Babatunde Oluwole Soyinka

The pregnant grey hairs Will continue to have heirs His pure heart Has always paint itself raw in art Where the blur sun Shines bright to caress and rerun Continuously in classical literary world Remembering how time get tests been twirled And opens doors for Yoruba-English literature Model in his own life signature Happy 86th birthday Despite having had enough, he gets no holiday Lest, rest set it wet, His write remains memorable pet To sing his name and swing Its evergreen to the right wing
