Oshinowo Oluyinka Poet Verse

Wind of Recourse

Blow
Blow now, blow
Wind of recourse 
Blow 
Sweep the thistles off
Their rooted feet
Clear the sharp thorns 
Off the fertile farm.

Blow 
Blow quickly, blow
Wind of recourse
Blow
Let the millet grow in peace
Without the troubling weed
Let the spinach bloom and spread
Without the piercing nails of the thorns

Blow
Blow hurriedly, blow
Wind of recourse 
Blow
Blow across the length
Blow across the breadth
Of this fagging farm
And let the labours not be vain.

Blow
Blow right now, blow
Wind of recourse 
Blow 
Don’t leave the weed to grow
And share food with precious mustards
What become of the yield?
If the weeds in pride are left to live.

Blow
Blow thither, blow
Wind of recourse 
Blow 
And let the crops be free
From those hateful weeds
It’s then the farm shall rejoice
Like one with lasting splendour.
