The Emperor's Birthday

THE  EMPERORS  BIRTHDAY.
Do  you  perceive  this  pleasant
Radiant  of  whisked  egg?
In  nakedness  of  darkness
Smell,
I  present  my  speech
On  this  segment,
Please  have  a  sit,
Watch  my  lips  dish
Out  excitement.
The  chest  that  sees  light
And  wish  to  be  blessed,
Calculate  efforts  as  you
Stretch  per  event,
The  choirs  are  culturally  
Dressed
Ready  for  tonight’s  concert,
Your  faith  never  rest
Even  as  the  eyes  melt,
In  darkness  shed
Beside  moonlights  nest.
I  hear  from  the  deep
Blue  shirt,
Singing  songs  for  help,
Like  many  apostle  trek,
Seventy  days  without  quench,
I  laugh  to  boost  my  strength.
Every  heart  flows
With  the  clouds,
No  limit  is  the  champions
Clap,
Radiant  of  pleasant  laugh,
No  response  could  be
The  governors  stamp.
Africans  admire  the
Chewing  stick
Chinese  prefer  the  chop
Sticks,
Empty  your  heart  like
My  dust  bin,
There’s  no  life  without
Coffins
Even  Islam  appreciates  
This  ordinary  mat  weaved.
So  much  to  eat  and  
Drink,
Good  music  to  please
Your  within.
As  I  dream  from  this
Evening,
Fragrance  of  praise  is
What  I  pray,
Today  is  my  birthday,
I  bow  as  you  experience
This  day.
                                                                                                                          AKEWUSOLA  HABIB.
