Owa Clement Adesuyi Haastrup Ajimoko III by Adejola Joseph
Sagacious king
Prudent king
You are an embodiment of knowledge
Encyclopedia of principles
One in a trillion
A king with an uncommon grace
I jealous your star my king
A king like no other
Ade a pe lori yin sir
Bata a pe lese yin
Irukere a di okinni my king
You stepped in with grace and glory
May your reign bring peace stability and progress
May you last a lifetime
And may your kingdom emancipate all and sundry
May birds chirp like birds
May rats squeak like rats
And may humans sound like humans under your reign my king
Amen and amen.
It's a miracle, this life inside of me
It's amazing, just the air I breath
Every morning waking
Everyday that takes me
Closer to the day that I see You
It's a miracle, that we're creating
No, not alone, I can do nothing
Without the One, who created you and me
Without God, who created everything
Marvelous! Astonishing!
Awesome! Breathtaking!
All That God gives me,
all that God gives me is…
Remarkable! Phenomenal!
Extraordinary! Incredible!
All that God has done,
All that God has done!
Miraculous.
It's a miracle, to see the sunrise
It's amazing, to hear a babies’ cry
The God who ma-ade
The God who made the mountains move
The God who ma-ade,
Made the ocean tides
This same God, made me and you!
Marvelous! Astonishing!
Awesome! Breathtaking!
All That God gives me,
all that God gives me is…
Remarkable! Phenomenal!
Extraordinary! Incredible!
All that God has done,
All that God has done!
Miraculous.
“Your jewelry introduces you before you speak.” – Madison Gem
Jade, pearls, and gemstones and pure gold wedding bands
Enhancements that we wear on our ears, arms, chest and hands!
White gold, sterling silver, and some copper too;
Emeralds, diamonds, rubies, sapphires and topaz sparkling blue;
Love knots, pendants, bracelets, beads, necklaces, plain chains!
Rings for ears or fingers and toe rings for the feet;
Yes, lovely adornments make our outfits more complete.

Ade is a Nigerian patriot
But permanent in US’ Detroit,
There, charming Nigerian Flag hoisted,
Bared schemes upon him foisted…
Ade, The Rare Nigerian Patriot,
Scarcely planning to leave Sweet Detroit,
Shall unfailingly shoot all of them,
Giving his Giant. causeless problem:
Politicians who might risk Rigging
He’d begun their graves a-digging:
For them the cheapest US caskets,
A little costlier than Mum’s baskets;
Never to stubborn pressures relax
On compatriots evading Paid Tax…
To keep performing civic duties,
From where he had kept quaffing fruities.
Eva Braun was a flexible kid,
Athletic, and puppy love loyal.
She played in the background, kept pampered and fed.
Frau Goebbels instructed her morals.
Eva Braun war ein sehr hübsches Mädchen
Who basked in the light of her Fuhrer.
She lapped up the Kool Ade and swallowed her guilt;
Never spoke to a Nuremburg juror.
Eva Braun was a practical girl
Who knew how to butter her schnitzel.
She silently offered her cyanide vows
While her bridegroom was kissing his pistol.
Cold and dreary from this road I’ve been on
Out here wondering just where I went wrong
Memories hold me together and tear me apart
Inching me closer to the place I left my heart
New places, smiling faces. It is all just a blur
God knows I have been searching for a cure
But peace has eluded me or so it would seem
Afraid of nightmares so I refuse to dream
Caught somewhere in between heaven and hell
Keep telling myself I’ll get through this spell
Holding on to hope and trying to stay strong
Over and over. Stuck on repeat. The same song
Made my mistakes and forced myself to roam
Exhausted, just trying to find my way home

WANTED
Vick The King Solomon,
Trinity of creativity soul in one,
"Ade" is the crown that gives sceptre to Royalty,
Royalty is to kingship but fails without wisdom
And wisdom of King Solomon lives on in this kingdom.
The gravity of such embellishment lies
In creativity & fast becoming the cynosure of all eyes.
I won't be submerged in endless triumph of wise fools
Cos the fool that is loosed is now the man on the loose
Who stole the mind of a ready writer
The world watches what you're running after
But your prayer makes you a player
In the race of life you were once a stranger,
Mighty tanks crows in pyre wood smoke clouds
But by the world's savvy all sink and drowns
Instead of sticking to the world's expectations
But stealing souls for the price of the high calling stations
Is the crime that warrants world's condemnations,
Divine wisdom your nothingness
Instead, your ultimate intelligence
To the world watching the wanted
This has to be divine ignorance effected,
To the best of my knowledge, for instance
Is the degree of my known ignorance.
