Who sent me?Politricians did!What sent me?Livelihood did!Whither sent me?Flung across seas! Betterment I seek;Rigor, not minding!Neither tremor intrinsic,In my wanderlust! I hasten,Love forgotten!Now love struck,For my inamorata! Afore fatherland;Oh! How I love,But to solve,Inherent storms! @as 06p319
Like a tiger;With quiet anger!Stealthily and silently;Till it’s timely! Biding their timewith magazine smiles,frustrated they are,because they lack! Land of plenty;Many are thirsty,masses kwashiorkoredsince they lack nurture! Oblivious of mass suffering,few haves go partying!Our Rome is burning,powerful are fiddling! Who’ll prevent quiet stormfrom its snaky venom?Solution very pedestrian:Masses should dignity earn! @as 060125
Food comes on time;E’en with no dime!No more worries,Carried in lorries! Strange it is,Sure it is!You’ve everything,But need nothing! There are some,Who will come!That need a thing,But have nothing! A strange world,Where the word,Doesn’t take long,To get around! Sundry will fleece,The super rich!Nobody will deal,With a nil nil! @aos 052718
On mother earth;Strangers we all are!Space where birthed,Happened to be bred! We jealously guard,When the rich fart,To safety we run,Away from rot! Some are engineers,Others technicians,Become kindergartners,To emerge earners! They’re waitering,Others waitressing,In other to sendResults of fend! But away they’re,Some are await,Their bloody labour,To ease their rancor! @- aos 052619
What are dreams?Amount they to nothing;When we realize;Our labours result to nil! What are dreams?Unfinished songs;Unfinished letters;Unfinished plans;Unfinished conjugations;Unfinished dreams! What are dreams?Ambitions;Marriages just starting off;Relationships just kicking off;Half-eaten meals! What are dreams?Realityof an irresponsible nation;Breeding useless leadership! What are dreams?Plans;Which, we do, make;In our innocence!Some say, our stark naivete;But then, do;End up;In the shallowness;Of…
On this land whereWe never earned,Yet, given were weBenefits aplenty! Afore then, despiteNot being right,In coming in, weWere relatively forgiven! Treated were weLike human beings,Given human rightsWithout a fight! Our eleda pray!Our children pray!Our wombs pray!Man and woman pray! This land is blessed!May it be repeated!This land is productive!May it be continued! Kosekose,Ni t’ilakose!Ile yi…
Did we complainOur best being slain?Rejected the stainOf the insanely saneBother our celebrationOf corruption. What can we name,Who’s to blameFor this trotOf absolute rot. We the people,Being used as fiddleTo permanently nurtureCommittee of vultures! @aos 052319
