Olajide Oribamise Poem
My love for you is like the morning dew. You are my daylight made for daytime,
My moonlight for night.
The reason I breathe.
You bring out the best in me.
I have traveled North,South.
Unraveled East,West.
Amongst all, you are the best.
I refuse others in lieu of you.
Needless to say, I sail no more.
For you, Angelique, i am weak.

Olajide Oribamise Poem
O-n this day in history, electorate gave the
mandate.
L-ords of that time annulled an election,
an unfair decision to the citizenry, a
decision without a reason.
A-nnulment it was, that was the worst
J-uggernauts!, were they? who were?
I-ntention in doing that was in fact
opposed
D reams were shattered, some were
battered, alas, others passed on
E-mphasis on the struggle for
Democracy is paramount, and one can
not overemphasise the importance.
O-verjoyed, to hear the announcement
R emembrance at last, honours deserved
I-n my time, some critics of politics are
alarmed by the honours: honours long
overdue
A-ccolades: finally given, accolades
deserved
M-artyr: A Martyr is reborn
I-s Mediocrity in our Democracy over and
can we empower Democracy to
overpower Mediocrity and sustain
Democracy.?
S-olidarity is forever, our rights, our lives
E-mbrace our dreams, we breathe
Happy
Democracy
Day

Olajide Oribamise Poem
I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me
A multi faceted being is me
That I have become
Come closer, you will see all in me
Tis what others see
Most they see is inborn in me
This is me, a peculiar being
He made me so
In me it flows
In me He flows
He told me so
Be told I am that being, I am me
Learn from me as I did from him
He sent him to me so that I can be me
Let me mentor you
He mentored me
Now you can see how I became me
He made us same
Different and unique we are
In our different ways
Learn and build you
You can be a better you
But,You can never be me for I'm me
I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me
I am me
I can only be me
I am me
Be a better you
I am a better me
Because I am me.
I saw in me long before I became me.
I saw through the eyes of who followed me
And if not for them I couldn't have been me
In what they saw in me because sometimes before now I saw me as a waste
But now I bow in respect for them because they brought it back into me
That I'm me, and I can only bring out the best in me when I'm me
I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me
If he can't see by now
Then he can never see I'm me and bow
Because I'm proud that that I am me
Tis me against the world
I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me
Oh what a shame, that you were held so close
But did not know me like others did
Not sorry, I'm me and can only be me.
You can't be me, I am me.

Olajide Oribamise Poem
She is a beautiful dark lady born and raised in Africa.I find her so beautiful,that when she comes to mind, i become overwhelmed and speechless because I am heavily captivated by everything in her. I was more dumbfounded when I saw her today because I saw her in a beautifully braided crown which I adored. Her eyebrows and eye lashes make-up complimented her illustrious shining brown eyes.
Her lovely nose and dark lips enticed me when she stepped out of the changing room. She had this gorgeous African jewelry on her ears and beautiful neck that glorified her succulent brown skin. Her fitted braided top showed a glimpse of what she has. There is no doubt that she is endowed and an epitome of African beauty as she stood before the audience, basking in their applause. My African Queen has this scintillating beauty i seldom see. She reminds me of the beautiful scenery of Motherland, Africa.

In time, all will fall into place.
Do not haste.
BRETHREN, move at your pace.
You have an ace up sleeve.

Olajide Oribamise Poem
When a man falls,
For he must fall
At one time or the other in life.
In his llfetime
As long as there is life,
He will stand tall again
If he works hard
in his lifetime
Such happens
At one time or the other in life
As long as there is life.
You will see that,such is Life, in your lifetime
