In Praise of Olaitan Bakare

Olaitan Bakare
You are the moon that shines in the night,
You are the kiss that cannot be forgotten, 
You are the child that must not cry out loud;
The sun that speaks for freedom to the captive.
The love that knows no bond but nurishes,
You are the legs that must not walk long
The flower that smiles so good and re-activate
Love in the air to all.

Lady O.L.A,
You are a straight line star drawn by God
You are the image in every man's eyes,
The beauty of the world, a special jewel
Made by God on the creation day;
The precious bead worn by men of courage.
You are the light of the world that 
Shine brighter than the moon.

Omalicha,
You are the beauty that glamours and glows
The maker of rain of love and empowerment,
You are the voice that breaks the prison brass
And set the captives free; your voice breaks the wind.
You are the smile that ease thousand pains.

Ugochinyere,
The owner of my humble heart
Olaitan, I love, your beauty I cherish;
Your voice breaks the prison walls.
You are the breath of mankind that
Nevr get contaminated by evil.
