Life of Paul

LIFE  OF  PAUL.
I  gave  birth  to  paul,
On  the  third  day  of  
This  month, he  was
Layed  in  my  silver
Cloth, with  both  legs
Popping  up.
As  I dreamt, I  thanked
My  GOD  for  salt  in  my
Soup  pot, paul  is  me  in
Another  being, I  smiled
To  my  boy, saying,
Welcome  to  my  world.
Growing  up  was  my  reports,
I  cleaned  his  butts  whenever
He  was  full  of  disgust.
I  breath  on  him, his
Cultural  values  and  clans.
My  proof  is  to  be  sure
He  doesn’t  travel  through
My  route.
I  feed  him  with  the  four
Cardinal  points  of  his  time.
He  wore  wool  made  of  the
Four  arithmetic’s  signs.
He  leant  that  yesterday   is
Only  a  three  syllable  term,
Its  dead  and  gone, nothing
Can  ever  be  done.
I  washed  his  brains  with
Alphabet  from  Macbeth,
Knowledge  gives  courage,
None  is  wasted. 
I  thought  him,  his  mouth  is
The  key  to  sin, not  all  he  thinks
Should  he  speck.
Today, paul  is  ordained  a  man,
He  takes  classical  chances  and 
Regulates  his  clan  through  his  
Rod  at  hand.
II
Paul  specks….
My  father  handsome,
Your  signature has  been  stamped
All  over  me, that  am  now  handsome.
I  see  from  my  legs  to  heard,
Am  an  ordinary  element  referred  to
As  legend.
The  galaxy  accommodates  stars,
I  have  become  a  shooting  star.
I  push  Kilimanjaro  like  only  
Taken  a  gagoo.
I  still  wounder  how  you  have
The  rite pin  for  every  stitch.
Am  quick  to  do  the  peace  sign
Whenever  I  see  wrong   minds.
Nothing  walked  into  the  world,
We  all  are  from  the  same  source,
Meaning  of  man  is  dust  to  dust,
These  has  no  cure, it  would  remain
A  procedure,.
I  give  praises  as  a  pilgrim.
                                                                                                                HABIB  AKEWUSOLA.
