Mama Africa

MAMA AFRICA
 My driver to the earth
 No crush,No regret
 Tales of a black mother
 Mother that mother the
 mother's tongue of mothrer's land.

 When you waft my infant?
 The love you show me is
 that of God to Adam
 Your beam enrich my soul
 Your tender kiss sparkles my dream.

 Your generous hug goes through     my vein and overcome my flaws
 Indeed you are a blessing,
 A blessing to the Universe
 and a blessing to Africa.

 All hail the mama of Africa
 You back me through the dreadful    sea to enshrine me in the land of
 sucess
 The world u give,keep me going on
 Overcoming every obstacles of life
 Indeed you are my skirt,My Lover,
 most precious being and my Gold.

 For you not being a termagent
 What shall i say to thank you?
 What shall i pendown to
 Show gratitude?
 Let thousands of blessing descend
 on your tender soul till eternity.
 The fruit you laboured,
 You shall reap

National Irony

NATIONAL IRONY

All hail the giant of Africa,
Giant of bribery and corruption
Giant of poverty and wailing
Giant in the face of frustration
and hunger.
What Giant is in the soul of Tyrant?

'We are here to serve the masses'
But they serve their personal interest
and enrich thief selfish pocket.
Your money is soaked with the
bitter tears of the poor!

'A descent life for all '
But they impoverish our helpless heart,
Look unto our street and see thousands of descent citizen.

'Health care service for all'
But they refuse to honour the
pulse of medical practitioner,
They cause falseful close down
of our health centers.
Their promise should have been fulfilled
If only we have vaccines in our 
hospitals not even an atom of antibiotics.

'Police is your friend, Bail is free'
Why are innocents going through
the pain of the crime they commit not?
But your falseful fine could feed
a whole nation three times.

'Kick against indiscipline K.A.I'
But they kick against public fund,
Kicked against human right,
Kicked against our democracy,
Kicked against National growth.

'Security For all'
But they loot our defence money 
They cause 'Boko' to waste life's
Your actions caused our abducted
Skirt homeless and hopeless.

'Equality before the law'
Why are you depriving good
standard of living from us?
You steal trillions of money
to impoverish your brothers
and sisters of the soil.

'Reduce the rate of poverty'
But your policies leads to inflation
We Now wear rag for cloth
While your clothing allowance
can shelter thousand heads.

'Reduce crime rate'
But look into our schools,
cultism is highly ubiquitous
Graduate turn robbers,
Kidnaping here and there
All happened due to your
actions and inaction.

I don't know where the future
of this country is moving to,
Everything is now getting worst
'Things are now falling apart'
Whose fault is it that such
has befallen us?

I Want To Belong

I WANT TO BELONG
 I want to dive with you in
 The pool of poetry
 I want to follow the lines and
 Stanza of your pen
 I want to step on your mightical
 Poetic footprint
 "Make me the Bard that write
  For perfection"
 I want to belong to the
 Brotherhood of pen 

 My suplicating soul seek to be
 An ambassador of perfect poetry
 My bleeding Heart plea to be the
 Chef that prepares delicious poetry
 Lead me to the perfect part
 In the World of poetry

 Initiate me into your cult
 Lords of poetry
 I want to be call a Pen lord
 Let me roast in the fire of poetry
 Let me rust in the prison of poetry
 Let no power empower my power
 Than the power of absolute poetry

 Perfect my Haiku
 Perfect my Sonnet
 Perfect my Lyrics
 Perfect my Ode
 Perfect my Ballad
 Perfect my Lullaby

 Bless my holy pen of thruth
 Make my poetry the aroma that
 Attract attention and appreciation
 This,my rending pen ask in honesty
 Initiate me into the world of Poetry
 I want to be a Pen Lord!!!

Amoke Mi

AMOKE MI

Amoke omo Iya Eleko,
When Maami re return at dusk,
From the rustic hustle of life
Tell her, tell her, I say tell her,

Tell her you have stolen it,
That golden Agbada your father,
Inherited from his father's lineage
And gave it to Prince Adeniyi your love.

Ayaba the King's pride,
I am the royal labalaba
Destined to lay on your virgin Ododo
It's the food for the king.

Amoke mi owon,
Don't forget to meet me under the great
Iroko oluwere's tree
Don't forget to come with the lighted Atupa,
There where we shall cuddle endlessly,
There where we shall kiss passionately,
There where we shall romance soul and mind.

When I am made the king,
And ascend the throne of my fore fathers
You shall be there by my right,
Bearing my royal name
Olori Oba Adedamola Adeniyi
Let the blood of royalty speaks in you.

Ololufe mi, eni bi okan mi,
Anywhere Igbin goes,
It's always with it's Ikaraun
Mo se ileri pe N oni ja o kule
Iwo ni o je Iya fun awon omo mi
N o si nife re titi lai lai.

I Am Afraid

I AM AFRAID 

I am afraid of the dark darkness
It mislead me of my ambition
It never makes me pure
If you never witness murk
You will not value Light.

I am afraid of myself
I am a human and bound to errs
I am bound to love and hatred
If you dont value my present
Then you will miss my absent.

I am afraid of my dark shadow
It leaves me in the same
Darkness i feared heartlessly
Darkness was it form
Unto darkness it returns.

I am afraid of my mother land
It turns into a giant Whale
Turns into a giant Hawk
Turns into a saber-toothed tiger
And abort dreams of possibilities.

I am afraid of the good friend
With pretty faces and fake smiles
They give you trouble and
troubled you in times of trouble
With their crocodile tears of rubble.

I am afraid of humanity
They cant love me for who i am
They shoulder my misfortune
Never want me to write this piece.

I am afraid of the unexpected
Visitor, that come with pains
And agony of the body and mind
If u never witness this visitor
You wont value virility.

I am afraid of the sacred messengers of demise
With blind eye of pity
That causes unforgettable
Memories of torment and throes.

I am afraid of Almighty God
The creator of all my phobias
THe one that can do and undo
The unquestionable God
And He i fear and fear the most.

Moving Bed

MOVING BED

Oh thee pretty bed,
Oh thee Lovely creature
Blessedth thou are till thy end.

Infant i racket thy pleasure
Yet thy keep me calm,
Kept me on thy ebonic back 

Running helter skelter for
my darling pleasure,
Singing melodiously to
my anxious Yhear
Thy voice sound really good?
Just like the angel above.

I feel perfectly good on you
Running helter skelter for my
only sake,
Collaborated with thy
pleasant voice.

To and fro, To and fro,
Movement of thy sleepy back
Dizzy, dizzy i go,
Until am off to the dream land.

I Am Not Afraid

I AM NOT AFRAID

I am not afraid to be a poet
Not afraid to write words
That will waddle through
The emotions of men
Not afraid to be criticise
Not afraid of neglection.

I am not of my truth
Let my lies keep hunting for me
I am not afraid do be among those
Who eat and thier plate never dirty.

I am not afraid of the black
leading cloud of our nation
For my twinkling bright star shall
Cover the livid of the clouds
And the land shall be peaceful again.

I am not afraid to hold pen
Not afraid to make the Unchangeable change in our land
With the words of my bleeding pen.

Not afraid to use metaphor
Not afraid to use simile
Not afraid to use sarcasm
Not afraid to use irony
Not afraid to personify
Not afraid to criticise
And be ciriticise.
For i am a true bard of the soil.

Bleeding Heart

BLEEDING HEART
 Whose blood is this that waste
 Like the water from a mistaken
 Open tap?
 Oh Romeo of our ages!
 Why hath this befallen me?
_
 You vow to be my ever lover
 And i place you in my heart
 Forever and ever
 I put you in a place where
 You will not shiver
 But your heartless action caused
 Me Lassa fever
 _
 I put you in a place where 
 blood flows
 Thinking you will enhance
 My psychological growth
 But you appear a predatory
 Night Owl
 And pierced my heart with
 A poisonous Arrow
_
 Now my heart bleed of betrayal
 Betrayal of such a damsel
 Seems peculier
 Peculiar in the sense of immemorial
 Whose fault is it that am dying
 As Romeo the lover.
