Adebayo Abass Olalekan Poem
In quandary I stood
Like a child
Who's lost his way.
Sockets rolling,
Eyes probing,
Two beautiful roses beckon.
Rule: Thou shall take not more that one.
Rose A,
Rose B,
Both full of love and life.
Selfish mind,
Desiring both,
Impossible wish.

Adebayo Abass Olalekan Poem
I am a blessing to my generation,
A light that shines bright and true,
A beacon of hope and inspiration,
For all that I encounter, old and new.
I strive to make a difference,
To touch the lives of those I see,
To spread love and understanding,
To set the world free.
For I know that I have been blessed,
With gifts and talents to share,
And I will use them to the best,
To show that love and kindness are everywhere.
I am a blessing to my generation,
A force for good in a troubled land,
I will stand tall and with determination,
To lend a helping hand.
For when we all work together,
And embrace the things that make us strong,
We can build a brighter future,
Where love and hope belong.

Rich.
Poor.
Rich enough to buy hectares.
Poor without a plot.
Possesses many mansions.
Can't even afford a block.
Six feet for everyone.
Vanity.

Round pegs in square holes.
Many seasons come and go.
How then can we grow?

Kindness.
Utmost selflessness.
Giving, empathizing, understanding.
Sunshine in people's lives.
Compassion.

Adebayo Abass Olalekan Poem
I saw a pearl.
A peerless pearl.
I court the pearl.
I caught the pearl.
My pearl was pure.
I jubilate on my triumph.
A thunderstorm.
My pearl slipped away...

Adebayo Abass Olalekan Poem
My mind races back and forth
I close my eyes, yet you plague my thoughts
A thief, stealing my meditation
Invading my mind all day long.
Could it be because of your sweet tender voice?
That still rings in my head,
Or because you, a colorful rose, sprung in April?
Standing tall and gorgeous.
I love your self-belief and confidence
And your sparkling white thirty-two.
A statuesque beauty with attractive vanities,
My arms are open wide...
While I painfully await your return,
Remember "crash and burn" while we are apart.

Humanity.
Loving, unconditionally.
Caring, helping, forgiving.
Making the world better.
Humanitarian.

Adebayo Abass Olalekan Poem
Forever young, forever free
A spirit that will never be caged
No matter how the years may pass
My youth remains unchanged
I laugh and dance, I sing and play
My hearts as bright as the morning sun
I chase my dreams, I seize the day
My spirit forever young
I may grow older, my body may change
But inside, I remain the same
My spirit forever young and wild
Filled with hope and endless possibilities
So I live each day to the fullest
As I embrace my youth, forever young
For time may pass, but it can't erase
The joy and wonder that fills my hearts and soul

Adebayo Abass Olalekan Poem
Deep in thought
Looking at the moon
Through a clear blue sky
The chirping birds
Singing different melodies
Yet failing to get my attention
I wish I could sing you a song
A lullaby
To serenade your soul
And sing you to sleep
But I am no Lemar
I wish I could write you a poem
A sonnet
That will touch your heart
And express my deepest feelings
But I am no Shakespeare
I wish I could melt your heart
With words
And assure you that
Together we can see the sunlight
And your burdens I wish to share
I kept on wishing...
Will you hold my hand?
