When You See Wole Soyinka Smile

When you see Wole Soyinka smile,
The earth dances in a glowing feast,
The earthquake becomes calm and
Loyal before his moving lips' curve.
.
.
.
He is the future of dreams and hope,
A focal point of the orbit of humans;
A charming prince of ancient Abeokuta,
Whose throat habours virgin songs.
.
.
.
If the turtle birds can stand the wind,
If the lizard can look up to the trees,
If the sky was once black and later white,
Then Wole's smiles have motivated many.
.
.
.
When Wole Soyinka smile,
Many women struggle to see his bed.
He is the lion in the cave of an Elephant,
The wind that touches every soul honey-ly.
.
.
.
A teething laughter made him a king,
His craving words channelled his destiny,
His fart, a pretty fragrances that queens 
fight to gather to their kings in the palace.
.
.
.
When you see Wole Soyinka smile,
The world go round like Mary-go-round.
His smile is a fruitful fruits planted by the 
River bank which remained ever pretty.
