Life goes on
Live for today
And let tomorrow take care of itself

Love

Love by Adejola Joseph
Love 
The commandment of God to all mankind
Love
The intangible force that holds the universe together
Love
A life saver and the originator of peace
Love
Barrier breaker and boundary destroyer
Love
Dispute settler and bringer of good tidings
Love
Hatred killer and conspiracy consumer
Love
Love is the antidote for wellness and good living
Love
Show some love
Spread some love
And share some love.
Love.

Black poet

Black poet by Adejola Joseph
Black poet 
His skin is black but his heart is white
His tongue is honey and his hand is spirit
He is a mirror of reality
The reflection and shadows of things to come
He is the revelation of the Providence
The truth untold for ages
He is black
Powerful
Strong
Bold
Dynamic
Iconic
Principled
Honest
Disciplined and charismatic
Black poet

Casket

Casket by Adejola Joseph
Casket
Six feet deeper
Deeds of man is questioned
How did you live your life?
Time to give account
Every man will die
Surely, every man will taste death
But death is not the end of a journey
It's a transition to the unknown and to the unseen
Casket
I rejoice at the day I see my casket
It's a homecoming
Glorious homecoming
Casket.

Ballad for the king Owa Clement Adesuyi Haastrup Ajimoko III

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.

Secret

Secret by Adejola Joseph.
Secret...
Like a lighted candle covered or buried under a mountain
So is secret kept or hidden for ages
Secret is an invisible phenomenon
A mystery kept until the day of disaster
Secret is like unborn child in the womb
Issues discussed behind closed doors
Secret.
Learn to keep a secret
Don't run a porous or loose mouth
It is what is hidden that has a value
Secret.

Money

Money by Adejola Joseph
Money
Power
Laughter
Merriment
When money comes power comes
When money comes laughter comes
When money comes there is merriment
Money is everything
Money
When there is no money there is sorrow, sadness and tears
House of money house of merriment
When money comes friends come
When there is no money friends flee
When you have money you are the toast of the town
When there is no money you are a loner
Money comes with its splendour and regality
Poverty with its wretchedness and leprosy
Money is power
Poverty is failure
Money
Work hard to make money
Strive hard to be rich and wealthy
It is the rich and the wealthy that is honoured
There is no grace in poverty and wretchedness
Money.

Book and ministry

Book and ministry by Adejola Joseph
Book and ministry
Warring in my member
Book and faith
Which way to go?
Confused as a delayed menstruation
Confounded as an ambushed soldier
I fought and thought
Jah leads the way
Victory is sure
Victory is certain
Hallelujah.
Amen.

Mask

Mask by Adejola Joseph
Mask
Where does it come from?
What?
Delusive rationality!
Are we out of mind?
Senses drained and dried?
No!
What do you capitalized on?
Neutral ambition?
Stop writhing in pain
It halts not the rod
Good ambition...lofty ideas
But...sees no sun
Because it's all masked!
It's all choked...
Brutally masked;
Dreamer ponders
Where do we go?
So much confusionist now on this solidity and compound mass!
Pitifully roaming the streets and cities
Beautiful faces all over the place
But... what?
Check the hearts
Wounded and scarred!
Why?
Because all aspiration and lofty dreams are masked!
My God! Oh! Oh! My God! 
I see importation and exportation of internal emotions!
Gaunt flesh and long faces!
I am still fidgeting...
Shaking profusely
Pity- I pity them
Pathetic - I found them
Helpless - I see them
Trillions of hopeless "breathy" with enchanting unrealistic dreams!
Battalions of revolutionist with insufficient or non existent arsenals
They are tired!
Yes!
Weary!
Yes!
Loathsome!
Yes!
Intolerant!
Little touch streaming burst
I will slap you if you touch me.. reaction!
Who will help?
Under whose auspices
Would they find lingering hope?
Weak and frail
Fragile and suicidal!
Apocalypse is on the roof
Because all effort to freedom is masked
Mask I see despite the wailing
Struggles I see despite plenty
Moaning I see in the midst of profuse pleasure
Tainted hopes and unaided hands I see despite plenty
Irascible and copiously irking I am underwhelmingly soaked
My strength is sapped
I am little detailed on how to make a map of liberty
Fussed and confused I am
Perturbed and broken I am because all effort to come off the tunnel is... masked.
