IT WAS IN A RACE
FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT
AMONG , I WAS IN RACE
AMONG THE HEADS FOR SUCCESS
SOME SPECTATORS BOO
SOME SPECTATORS WOO
SOME ATHLETES FELL
ON THE TO SUCCESS
THEY DANCE TO THE TUNE
OF BOOING SPECTATORS
I DANCE TO THE TUNE
WOOING SPECTATORS
DESTINATION , WE ARRIVED
AND FORTUNE SMILE ON ME

Ajayi Rasheed Poem
The first duo
The candidate we can trust
Manifesto reads
War against corruption
The second duo
The best man for the jobs
Manifesto reads
The rule of law prevails
The apex of the duo
The life shortened
The good interred
With his bones
Emerged from the interred
Bones of the second goods
The third duo
Manifesto wears
Re branding Nigeria and Nigerians
Witnessing is dislocation
Witnessing is development
Of predators
Maimings and murders
Here and there
The predators
Is a celebrated gladiators
The manifesto
Is like glint
Let there be
Food on the table,
Sleepiest sleepyhead,
Foundation of a state
Engaged youths
Re brand served and serving Nigerians

Ajayi Rasheed Poem
HERE COME THE PARTAKER
HERE COMES THE UNDERTAKER
IS IT THE JUSTICE
IS IT THE PRACTICE
THE PARTAKER IS KNOWN
THE UNDERTAKER IS UNKNOWN
JUSTICE PARTAKER ROLLS ON
WHEN THE SUN SETS
WHEN THE SUN RISES
THE LENGTH OF THE JOURNEY
UNPREDICTABLE IT IS
THE SUN IS A DEMOCRAT
TRIBUTES TO THE SUN
FAREWELL TO GANI FAWEHINMI

Ajayi Rasheed Poem
Money,in search of you
Traitor appears
Either to kill
Or denigrate
The trustworthy gets less
The sycophant demagogically gets more
The former becomes worse
The later becomes blessed
Money, your raison d'etre
Misinterpreted by your interpreter
Your searcher on do-or-die
In your search
Money,you are hijacked
By the black baron
To rule the innocent
To suppressed the oppressed
In search of you
Sycophancy adopted
Decency aborted
Inconsistency applied
But, consistency implied
Money, your whitish regalia
Turned blackish in nature
Stained with debris
By your researcher
Your searcher, in existence
Becomes asset
But in eternity
Becomes inordinate bad count.

Ajayi Rasheed Poem
Il revient toujour
il ne reveint pas aujourd'hui
c'est lui qui donne le bijou
comme le cadeau depuis
l'horloge lui meme
n s'arretes que l'homme
il fait comme il faut
mias, il donne des cadeaux
ses cadeaux c'est pour
l'homme de tous les jours
qui fait comme il faut
l/horloge conduit
demain donne le bataeu
et, l'homme s'assieds

AGED, LEAVE THE NATALITY INTO TO
WITH THE CHILD INTRANSIGENCY
IN OUR BELOVED ELDORADO

HERE COMES THE IN SECURITY
VOICI L' INSECURITE
THAT WALKS GRADUALLY
QUI SE DEROULE UN PEU
SHE ENTERS THE STAGE
ELLE VIENT A L'ENDROIT
LIKE SICKNESS IN THE BODY
COMME LA MALADIE DU CORPS
RESEARCHERS MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS
LES CHERCHEURS FONT LEUR RECOMMENDATIONS
THE PARTICIPANTS REMAIN AKIMBO
LES PARTICIPANTS, AVEC LEUR POINGTS SUR LEUR HANCHES
THE EVENT INSECURITY
L' EVENNEMENT INSECURITE
PROFITABLE TO THE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS
LUCRATIVES AUX PARTICIPANTS ACTIFS
THE WISDOM OF THE RESEARCHERS
LA SAGESSE DES CHERCHEURS
NOT PROFITABLE TO THE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS
NON LUCRATIVES AUX PARTICIPANTS ACTIFS
THE PRIORITY OF THE WISDOM
LE PREMIER POINT DU SAGESSE
ENGAGE THE YOUTH
EMPLOYONS LES JEUNNEE
THE HUNTER LIKE AN INTERPRETER
LES CHASSEUR COMME UN TRADUCTEUR
BLOWN THE WHSTLE
DONNE UN COUP DE SIFFLET
GERINIA, GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD
GERINIA,RETOURNE VITE A LA PLANCHE

Newly adopted toddlers mourN
Indemnity as locus standI
Gold-crests laG
Event invites the employeE
Rodeo on the wealthy riveR
Irrevocable superminI
And the black gold run et ceterA
Nobles with black gold gains remaiN
Spectacles of other specieS
Opener ramains incognitO
Ne'er-do-well holds the horN
No one remembers the mooN
Expatriate the extra farE
Teach the gospel momenT

Ajayi Rasheed Poem
MY SHELTER,
I SHALL POSSESS
BEFORE MY DEMISE
MY HORSE,
I SHALL RIDE
BEFORE MY DEMISE
MY GENERATION
I SHALL REGENERATE
BEFORE MY DEMISE
MY APEX ,
I SHALL REACH
BEFORE MY DEMISE
EVERY MAN,
I SHALL BRING
UNDER MY FOOT
BEFORE MY DEMISE
THE ENTIRE GLOBE,
I SHALL REACH
BEFORE MY DEMISE
BUT, AFTER MY DEMISE
ALL TURNED VANITY
WITH MY SINGULARITY
IN INTERMENT
BEFORE MY DEMISE
SELF-CENTERED,
EGOISM,
INTRANSIGENCE,
AND INORDINATE AMBITION
MY IMBIBED CULTURE
WHY MY DEMAND FOR ALL
AS SINGULAR ACHIEVABLE
DEMISE IS THE MAN
ACHIEVABLE

Ajayi Rasheed Poem
IN YOU WE RELY
IN YOU WE APPLY
WHY ARE YOU UNDER DURESS
WHILE YOUR DISTRIBUTION
IN YOU I EARN
IN YOU I LEARN
BUT YOU ARE UNDER DURESS
AND I AM UNDER DURESS
WHY DO YOU HATCH
THE HYPOCRITICAL EGGS UNDER WATCH
THERE, IT IS ONE- MAN OPERA
LOYALISTS ARE THE ZEBRA
STOOGE S ARE THE ALPHA
AS THE DAYS WALK
THEY TALK AND TALK
IN THE LION BUILDING
COUNSELING OFFICE IS METAMORPHOSIS
AS POPULAR DISCIPLINE
EVEN GREEDY HYENA
FORBIDS THE MEAT
OF THE YOUNGER ONES
IN THE LION BUILDING
THE MEATS OF THE YOUNGEST
IS THE DELICIOUS CAKES
IN THE SAID BUILDING
YOU HIRE AND FIRE
THE INNOCENTLY HIRE
IN THE MOST POPULAR DEPARTMENT
IN THE LION BUILDING
THE KEEP TRAFFIC FLOW
