Okunrin rere l’awa;Okunrin rere l’awa;Awa ntoju aya wa;Awa ntoju omo wa;Okunrin rere l’awa! We are good men;We are good men;We’re taking care of our wives;We’re taking care of children;We’re good men! Really? It can’t be argued that most societies are patriarchal. And it’s reflected in the social, political, economic and cultural structures where men are…
I get swept by razzle; Blinded by dazzle, readily forgetting where I’m standing! We’ll have plenty of potato, so says manifesto; I’m persuaded, I’ll be uplifted! While asking for votes, politicians gave loads of tons of promises and infrastructure for tommies! Not needing to be encouraged – no one could change my influenced resolve to…
Weren’t our elders right, when they said luxury of getting old came with a price, of witnessing the not too pleasant?

Yeah!Like an abortion,Rejection comes!Today’s happinessMay not last;Sadness mightTomorrow bring! We laugh,We drink,To a stateOf understanding! That’s not enoughTo be bankable! You may still,You might still,Be rejected! Take in strideYou must,Cos that’s lifeYou win some!You lose some!! @ as 061419

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
