*On The Run* Hunted by my past, trailed by my shadow, Intoxicated by elixir of youth, I climb the ìrókò beyond the leaves. Wail of woes, dehydrated dreams Crushed in the battlefield of the deep; Love lost, hoarse voice, greying hairs. The wind slaps me cold, Drunk with evil pleasure, Sweet sorrow envelopes me; Then it dawns on me, I’d frittered the forest and harried...

The air was fresh even though something was wrong with my lungs. It was very early with so much time left under the western sun. I felt I could always catch up because I was still very young. Yesterday, I signed up to run, but today the race has already begun, and unfortunately, I find myself running in a...

The moment is finally here When we have something to share And I can feel a sudden tension flowing in the air The evening is dry and long with its arrow And they are getting ready for the song The patrol police is walking around with long guns Looking for the thieves all over the street The birds are flying across...

~ ON THE RUN ~ (a little fun) Thrice as busy as any bee On the run no moment free Scary-disciplined model of industry Mocks lazybones like you and me You observe millions perhaps billions of them No doubt about that! ...
