[A Double Acrostic Lanterne]

Each beat
As blood flows-
Rock-‘n-rolling
Throbs
Beeps’
Rhythmic
Echoing

AMOKE MI
Amoke omo Iya Eleko,
When Maami re return at dusk,
From the rustic hustle of life
Tell her, tell her, I say tell her,
Tell her you have stolen it,
That golden Agbada your father,
Inherited from his father's lineage
And gave it to Prince Adeniyi your love.
Ayaba the King's pride,
I am the royal labalaba
Destined to lay on your virgin Ododo
It's the food for the king.
Amoke mi owon,
Don't forget to meet me under the great
Iroko oluwere's tree
Don't forget to come with the lighted Atupa,
There where we shall cuddle endlessly,
There where we shall kiss passionately,
There where we shall romance soul and mind.
When I am made the king,
And ascend the throne of my fore fathers
You shall be there by my right,
Bearing my royal name
Olori Oba Adedamola Adeniyi
Let the blood of royalty speaks in you.
Ololufe mi, eni bi okan mi,
Anywhere Igbin goes,
It's always with it's Ikaraun
Mo se ileri pe N oni ja o kule
Iwo ni o je Iya fun awon omo mi
N o si nife re titi lai lai.

man up all the way up
i've held other peoples burden
and not at once
i showed signs of hurting
until there was you
my window was open
then some how i close curtains
alone alone
thats what i'm deserving
alone alone
but some how it's love i'm serving
been kick been stomp
gave a cold shoulder
still when music come on my head bop
been push been pulled
but not at all dropped
left alone left weary
dreams confine the space
i fill in life
my love is tough
no matter how sharp is your nife
you
can't cut me
but some how
you pic my lock
and made me feel so lovely.
when my friends in trouble
i'm the first they call
but when i'm in trouble the lord i call
so my only friend is 6 feet
so you can sense that theres more then just
a broken heart that's man up
instead of robbing i gave
in stead of living i saved
and i answer my only craved
so there for i'm more man then
reality can ever afford.
so Recognize the God in me.
