Perserverance Breeds Success

PERSERVERANCE BREEDS SUCCESS

Jss One was an insult, I cried
Like time should hit full stop,
My breakfast was sweet without
Salt,
My parents tasted like this evil
Citrus,
I continued to hide like Air Force
Was only for my seniors.

Jss Two arrived with the wind called
Releave
I began to breath as an aspiring king
Now I believe the race would definitely 
Finish.

Jss Three was the mighty season
Everyday had a sweet beginning
Suddenly the queen became pretty
As boys begin to fill big,
Every Sunday I was in the dining hall
To clean wasted beans,
The brown Khaki now fits my tiny skin.
Never did I forget the mighty JSCE.

Ss1, trousers became the big deal,
I was also a victim for every ss3's 
Laundry,
Morning duty was almost ending,
Up keep of the latrine was attached to
Me.
Inter house games had huge meaning
These was the day to show all my special
Skills
And entice that pretty queen,
As we stroll through freedom tree
Dangling the box room's key,
My sunday wear now had this profound whitish Glimpse. 

At ss2, I became a commissioned officer
I began to predict the whether,
Even during holidays, I dreamt of returning
To my headquarters,
In Jaguar I had two lockers.
In Dornier my friends sent invites for
Dinner
Alpha wasn't my regular signal,
She whipped me in basketball finals.
I measured my days and wised there 
Could be an alternative taste
But JPE was the key to unlock ss3 dreams.

Been a finalist was like magic
Today I float on the atlantic
As I scream 'ONE BOY'
The hostel begins to panic
Ariku becomes my transit
I trained this special team of bandits
So I had a contraband producing factory.
The days now had wings
Time flew without traffic.
My ink recollect's like she was a five
Minutes conference meeting,
Many couldn't climb this Iroko
For sex seasons.
Today, am not only an ALUMNI
But an harden fresh corrosive lime
Ready to swim under river Nile's eye.
AFCS is high in the sky
With the flying colors that now
Leave in my life.

KEYWORDS:
 Jss_ junior secondary
SS: Senior secondary
Jsce: Junior secondary certificate examination
Jpe: Joint promotion examination.
Ariku: A small town in Iwo,Ibadan,Nigeria.
Khaki: A thick brown material 
AFCS: Air Force Comprehensive School.

African Kid's, King of the Streets

AFRICAN KID's, KING OF THE STREETS.
 
From the ignition of time
Where spirit of wine loves every
Mind,
I stroll down this town backing my
Brilliant child
Traditional symbol of dark's motherly
Pride,
Africa the diagram in my eye
At age nine I understood every episode
Of the street life.
Web created of metal tread
But reacts shabbily to external treat
My kids with a pan on his head
Perambulate the streets on legs
Life span rich in hawking and gambling
Forgetting any basic help
Elementary education under this orange
Tree 
Was my best,
Basic health care is located far by the
Left
In this shallow well.
I pity for my incumbent king,
With royal feet 
Purposely neglects tomorrows wish.
African kids vomits tartared english
As my teeth is the sanctuary for disease,
Even with my dark skin,
I know majority who succeed,
I beg, lead me through this path 
Nic_named winning
Let the rich forget been stingy.
All I dream ends under this overhead
Bridge
And I see opportune kids sing and 
Eat 
Under her equipped class room ceiling.
I am also an African king carrying bitter
Tears of neglect,
I fall to prostrate to my magistrate
Please help to redeem and eradicate 
This stinking image,
It will never be late to celebrate
When internal love becomes adequate.

Blood Morning

BLOOD MORNING.

Writing from the vicinity of
Aluu,
My beautiful taboo.

Here is the hometown of Kalu,
My good friend who resides in
Kano.
Aluu, the popular city wearing
Jungle tattoos,

In this city, atrocity happens every
Afternoon
Innocent blood could be mistaken 
For cashews,
Vampires breathing within manhood.

Now I can't eat my Apu
Human beings could be roasted 
Like cattle,
Yoruba calls it maluu.

If GOD should ask for one
Word,
I will say HE must banish You,
Seize all your shoes 
And the pregnant shouldn't 
Deliver fruits.

Why We No Longer Blush

WHY  WE  NO  LONGER  BLUSH.
Greed  just  caused  a  barricade
Named  road  block,
My  rusted  tooth  brush  is  been
Pasted  with  mud,
Blood  is  the  chalk  on  my
Children’s  black  board,
Darkness  has  made  my  vision
Blind  with  sawdust,
The  society  is  presently  corruption
Drunk,
My  skin  is  now  thicker  than
The  elephants  tusk.
Prosperity  is  an  abstract  tense
To  my  leaders  ears,  
Her  desk  is  the  nest  for  corrupt
Birds.
These  foundation  needs  urgent
Salvation,
Political  elite  believe  in  dehydration
Clothed  with  frustration.
Dehumanization  is  the  logo  for
Each  progressive  union,
How  is  it  done  in  Pluto?
That  astronauts  dream  to  travel
Like  she  harvests  gold.
Niger  is  my  home
The  future  looks  like  a  shredding
Rope,
Major  infants  are  infected  with
Running  nose.
Wealth  is  a  test  not  show  of
Strength
Even  the  beggar  can  become  
My  president
If  he  dreams  well
And  furnish  his  sense,
Be  prepared  to  help
Distribute  smiles  without  
Collecting  rents.
                                                                                                                       HABIB  AKEWUSOLA.

Elizabeth Ii

ELIZABETH  II.
Decorated  streets  sing  with
Jamboree,
These  is  the  song  for
My  Queen,
I  peep  from  this  tall  tree,
Dreaming  in  the  aquarium
Of  wishes,
Now  I  am  Her  sibling
Attending  daily  Royal
Routines,
I  wink  the  left  eye  to  get
The  perfect  glimpse,
This  love  with  affection
Of  winning,
I  would  catch  the  clouds
To  clean  all  you
Fill like  eating,
I  am  a  living  honored
Of  this  profound  victory.
My  Majesty  the  ruler
Above  evenings,
Jewel  of  natures  beauty,
I  cherish  the  footprint
That  my  heart  sketch,
Multitude  sing  including
The  birds  that  back
Their  wings.
Very  supreme  team
Is  what  I  framed  in
My  dream.
Enjoy  the  filtered   wind
Also  called  dynamic
King,
That  every  tangible  seed
Would  become  double
Trees,
There  are  no  green  without
Leafs.
Elizabeth  is  my  mother
Even  when  she  lay
To  sleep.
                                                                                                               AKEWUSOLA  HABIB .

All the Pastor Says

ALL  THE  PASTOR  SAYS.
Season  of  faith
Is  straight  ahead
The  golden  gate,
This  could  sound  strange
But  she’s  great,
Congratulate  every  day
Like  a  page  bearing  a 
New  name.
I  have  faith
This  all  I  can  say.
Writing  is  a  place
In  that  symbolic
Village,
Am  not  talking  a 
Scared  cave,
Preaching  sounds  like  
A  delicious  taste
To  major  righteous  race,
As  you  create,  to  
Portray  images  of  positive
Trait.
Seconds  disappear  in
Her  regular  paste.
The  letters  on  a
Slate, nor
The  voice  of  a  saint
Is  all  I  illustrate  to
Remain  safe.
Any  lawful  state  carries
The  best  magistrate.
                                                                                                                         AKEWUSOLA  HABIB

Romantic Survellance

ROMANTIC SURVEILLANCE
Friday came with a change
The incubated hen got laid,
On this platter of grace shaped
Into spade,
Her beauty flows faster than
The rain
Washes through my vain
As I read within her photo and
Her lips says,
Hello my charming male,
Project my fame as the
World is created for love to play.
Her flamboyant sticed garment
Rolls down the carpet,
Let all stand welcoming the
Diamond that my heart target,
Elegant asset my mother recommends,
I'm foolishly in love with her
Accent.
II

These creature matched the
Well arranged furnitures,
As we watch flashes turn out
To make pictures,
Never will I give up in making
Your sister my in law,
How would I resist these enigmatic
Posture
Honey clothed features,
Mirror of every man's imagination.
I will keep you in the deepest part
My heart treasures,
No excavator will ever expose us
Romance my lips with your
Liquid lip gloss,
Am drunk with this rhythmic liquor
I mean you are beyond words.
III

The tongue will only talk
My ears always appreciate your
Voice
As my heart is forever yours.
Happy birthday is all I tried to
Say
Join my hands let's celebrate,
You know I respect today
We would share the night in these
Exotic cave,
Located in my romantic village.
Slice your custom pink cake
With inscription of our names
I baked for this special rave,
My love will never find its tail.

Imagine Nigeria

IMAGINE  NIGERIA.
Imagine  Nigeria,
Becoming  a  sweet  fruit
Like  my  orange  juice,
Imagine  Nigeria
With  patriotic  youths
Who  speck  truth  and
Make  my  future  look
Good,
Imagine  Nigeria
That  education  carry’s  a
Concrete  foundation,
Becomes  a  national  tool
Towards  economic  civilization.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  the  Elders   give  me
Shelter,
As  helicopters  isn’t  only
For  the  god  fathers,
Imagine  Nigeria
My  area  without  malaria
Where  the  health  system
Isn’t  a  trap  wearing  danger,
Imagine  Nigeria
During  the  good  and  bad,
We  all  stick  together.

II

Imagine  Nigeria
Where  majority  is  happy  to
Sing  her  slogan,
Infants  carry  my  flag  high
On  her  shoulders.
Imagine  Nigeria
That  my  export  moves  round
The  world,
Without  corruption  been  her
Escort.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  terrorism  isn’t  the
MilitarY  salary,
And  unmask  every  stranger
Within  her  territory.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  tension  isn’t  collected
Before  pension, instead
The  aged  gather  for  happy
Recreation. 
Imagine  Nigeria
That  electricity  lights  up
This  city
Its  connected  with  easy  and
Distributed  for  almost  free.

III
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  all  my  blames  are  not
Left  for  the  leaders,
Instead, first  caution  our  nuclear
Bread  winner.
Never  curse  Nigeria
All  I  depend  is  these  natural
Mineral,
I  can  never  reverse  the
Desperate  immigrant,
Looking  forward  to  construct  a
Beautiful  new  river  on  
Another  land.
Imagine  Nigeria
When  industries  employ  my
Indigence
And  never  appoint  by  your  community,
Refineries  doesn’t  pollute  the  high
Sea  and  kill my  cat  fishing.
Imagine  Nigeria
That  farming  is  encouraged
By  modernized  planning,
Imagine  Nigeria
The  prosperity  sister
Make  big  plans  from  your
Little  area.
My  governor  isn’t  a  magician.
Imagine  Nigeria
Beautified  with  Iroko
Sky  scrapers, and	
Ordained  the  genuine  giant
Of  AFRICA.
                                                                                                                                      HABIB  AKEWUSOLA.

Words So Sweet

WORDS SO SWEET.


Cultivating from this tangerine
Tree
Liquid recipe, her content carry's
Pedigree,
Green shaped leaf is my identity.
What is time without the latitude
Of man's mind?
Am surprised, this ordinary ink
Begins to see things.
Follow me on this trace into
Unlimited might, lighting sign's
Apostles of translucent sight.

Today you read Words So Sweet,
As sentences duplicates into 
Centuries
Not speaking of her voluminous
Territory 
Basically her harvested energy
Equals particles of spiritual
Clergy.
You my darling so sweet,
I prostrate murmuring indefinite
Blessings,
Never have I pictured you in a
Coffin
Stand by me when am coughing
Become my hobby,
I hear your voice even when you
Say noting.

Accept this infant milk from
A mother to feed her pretty
Daughter at age two,
I mount my back for you
To scale through.
Let Wrinkles never beautify 
Your face
Dark and fair will definitely 
Read this page.
Poetry was created for you
Never to hate
WORDS SO SWEET is a stage,
To you who love's and see
To the growth of wisdom in
Every adorable medium,
Poetry is my name.

Happy People

HAPPY  PEOPLE.
Sweet  sugar  with  lots
Of  energy  content,
Legend  of  today’s  contest
Communicate  and  be  bold
As  friends  with no  end.
What  is  corruption  without
Investment?
Increase  in  constipation  while
The  land  reshape  into  a  
Battle  fun fare.
We  presently  hate  greens
Prospects,
Cassava  has  become  dry  sticks
By  our  door  step,
My  backyard  is  a  nightmare
So  I  trade  fear.
I  would  get  there
As  we  face  the  mirror,
Trace  errors, replaced  into
Figures,
And  travel  like  freedom.
I  will  create  a  unity
Anthem
Favorable  for  my  dark  flesh,
In  presence  of  the  earth
Where  this  continents  erects,
Think  like  the  prophet
Africa  will  get  there
Before  sun  set.
                                                                                                                       AKEWUSOLA  HABIB.
