Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
The attitude that means great scare
And birth sufferings we couldn't bear
Thank God he's sick, we pray he lacks care
Centuries of "didn't care" land us in misery we now wear
We didn't care if the well was not well
"Grant us a token to dine" the town's well is too expensive to make well
We didn't care if farmlands became bushy for we Stood at the mercy of crude that make us fat while slumbering
We didn't care to explore our bounty till crude lost face among peers
We didn't care if our products were messy
white groceries were on spots for cheap barter
We didn't care to snuggle our culture before westernization put us in oceanic soup
Our heritage is unmaintained because we didn't care
We didn't care to say NO till the we are made to have no choice
Public enjoyment in belly of few men because we didn't care
We didn't care from the start now our care means nothing, our tears finds no hope
We are where we are because WE DIDN'T CARE

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
Call a spade a spade
Leave to cut to blade
So to have a better shape
Ears should hear
Take action and beware
Procrastination's a
disease
Grab your copy before that only compatible one gets sold
Regret comes when beauty gets old
Life gets aged
As minutes fade
Life's beautiful
Only when it's meaningful
with riches so bountiful
To enjoy man's enemy....
You just have to call a
spade a spade
And leave a waste to
waste

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
One wrong trust
With dagger, my heart got thrust
I died not, but got lost
Become a living ghost
Lost in trust
Enemy playing friend
Banana cloth tossed on my destiny
Wanting my demotion to trend
Infected me with a flue
Then rifled me to the blue
Birded away with no clue
With nothing than the left shoe
Took refuge at the mountains
Mountains with healing fountains
Rinsed me to rebirth
Applied my mechanism with gracious grease
Came to mind a song by KSA
" Appreciation modúpé
Oníbú ore, bàbá gb'opé mi"

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
Oh I cry for Nigeria!
Revealed sadness from
Book of enlightenment
Opened the dam of tears
That floods away joy
Oh I cry for Nigerians!
Tears crying for freedom
To escape d eyes
And mobbed by a peppered cloth
Patriot of poverty!
Suffering elites!
Wearing d smile of sadness
Enthralled their greatness
Crude oil refined to crude suffering
Oh I cry for Nigeria!
Jobbing unemployment
Receiving salary of calamities
With the roar of great quotes
Taken to knowledge not wisdom
Theories of revolution
Recited like poetic lines
Like a body with no bones
Noising fake development
Publicising engraved unity
With immeasurable hospitality
We accommodate the great Boko!
Ye Hitlers of Nigeria
Your ploys shall be televised
Your spells shall be broken
Exposing d lies under your garments
Like I always say
" There will come a time
When the blurry would be seen
The dumb would be heard
And joy would coup tears
To let smile reign"

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
In crisis we swim
Hunger for education has made us slim
The beauty of dye was washed by rain
From ignorance to ignored we leave by cain
Solidarity of the heart some withstand the pain
Minors relishing nothing from national cake
Yet,stroked to make the the cake bake
D realm of hardship By heart,bounty forsake
Indeed, Man can't swim against the tide
Needn't man run from d defamation of life guide?
We just have to go with the flow
Or take a sudden blow
For breath in this region is not for the slow
Quenching thirst with hazardous liquids
Where idle divine water is seeking employment
Zeal for success has kicked the bucket
Murderers! Daggering dreams of d young
Resulting to the Death of sale in a 'village' market
Holders of democratic wand!!
The land remains dry while u fill ur bellies
Remember! Thy breath shall cease indefinitly
And thy soul shall evaporate to be *JAMBED*
And body shall sleep undignified

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
Breaking rules to make new rules
Chasing godly minds to fish out moles
New pals while old were in **** holes
With them in d quarters of my life I make some new goals
Jumping cliffs that could break ma back
Trekking distances that could get me wack
Swapping my gentility for ruggedness
Oh I sing Aluta while pop washes away
Isn't ma white turning grey?
A murmur that leads my heart to sway
On a mission which vision was seen
In which yellow leaves would turn back green
And success would wash away my sin
Only patience foes I lost to recall
Would join d crew in d merriment mall
Those that sees nt would be seen not
That is karma taking it's course just
With the Patience Old and The Destined New........ A new life begins.

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
Angel of the odd
Made my face savaging in
mud
Water of happiness
gushed from broken
gourd
Love is giveth,hate then
defy God
With Angel Of The Odd
I sit on a cursed love
Emotional spanks finding
no end
Prospecting a white
where all is black
Selfishness she claimed of
me
With a reason of
unbattered love...
shouldn't I be?
She pays wit bruises
deeper than that of flesh
Punches that ache thy
heart
Class in synergy wit
beauty
One wit features of multi
A reason to blind for d
oddness
And appreciate d being
of dis goddess
Angel Of The Odd
Bless me with love
A revenge with
love,honesty and care
already in place
Man is his word
Mouth wears no glove
More dan 365days i set d
pace
Oh! kneels re weary
Eyes are swampy
Legs re shaking
Head is aching
Body is withered
Throat is arid
Only kisses can make it
watered
But thy HEART still beats
for u
Angel Of The Odd
Even with d death of thy
body
My love remains for u and
nobody

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
Objectivism has paid a good price
A price of beauty I never dreamed
And fortune that carries no lies
The beacon of happiness has beamed
Ma heart wears a sparkling jewellery
Sparkling my mood for d world to see
Ma food is placed with a perfect cutlery
Dined by Divine for me to have a glee
Chapter of emotional loneliness has ended
The walls of sadness was bridged
The candle of hope was kindled
As She stabbed loneliness I never enjoyed
Never knew Objectivism could be this lucrative
Paid a life fee for a token job done
A fee that could make life positive
Cos of enjoyment of happiness in d love zone
"You can only love more of a person if it's reciprocated"

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
Cast away negative tots
They re ntn bt disturbing dots
I'm of great fret
Of what d pregnant u could deliver
I hold hatred for regret
A reason why i'm a believer
I believe u to b a thief
Ma sleeping hrt u stole
U re indeed a perfect gunner
Woke in ur hands bt i'm no runner
Fell in love with ma captor
Ironically spelled!!!!
Finding sweetness in misfortune
It turned around and brings fortune.

Adetunji Olanrewaju Poem
Sip the milk
To have a think
Stop the drink
To have a link
One tiny flick
Would make u blink
A risk to make ship sink
And Water would take d place of ink
Black is bad otherwise is pink
With reasoning,solutions might clink
Larry beryl's nt a Fink
He's smooth like a skating Rink
I drank to think
To isolate the stink
And it yielded a wink
Brain,body and drink had to sync
A pure drink, A fruitful think
All for me in ma golden zinc
