Oladimeji Opeyemi Poem
Ones upon a life to pass
Where joy could have been imagined to last
With innocence far from rust
And body far from dust
Minds moved gradually to modify
But rather to a direction of fright
Where winter came in July
Leaders seeing with longing sight
Lion of humans claiming to fight for freedom
Scouring it's paws out of boredom
In fine linen with lyrical carved tom tom
With aim of exploiting to gain it's kingdom
A little knowledge like water
On heads of innocent souls
Like a lamp light gloating over
Till night stand still on the old
Exemption they tried to agitate
Breaking all laws till it abates
Creating powers to hate
And a ground rule never to be late
Pains still it caused
Hunger turning to a course
Stomach crying for change
Eyes can't see from range
Deaf ear they turned
To the screams of scraping
Incense they burned
All for winning
Two heroes in the tragedy of their making
Both running into the chamber turning
And all souls within them burning
While rulers fighting for last man standing

Oladimeji Opeyemi Poem
The gentle breeze of the night
Ran away and came in slowly
And so does my lovers heart
Is the cloud closer or farther?
As I wonder if my lovers love is
With the thinness of the stars!
Ohh triplet of stars, all together
Always and I look for my lovers
Heart around but could not find
And there two other stars, why
Should there be a distance between
These stars and the distance
Founded and created their imperfections with their faintness
There, over there is one big star
Thick with togetherness, strong with
love and firm with trust, where is mine?
The bird flew in between the clouds and the group
Wait, Birds?
What art thou doing by this of the day?
When sleep fullest man's eyes
At last, the falling horse arose and
the lost sheep found
Just one moon seen in Yugoslavia is seen in Nigeria as one as it took it whole component with it
They all move at ones altogether so do I and my lovers soul together!
We became a pen
That outside the earth the pen and
It's cover may be separated but
Inside they are clicked together with an unbreakable bound.
