Songs! – Adewale Sobowale

In the night;
We do eat light;
but so many never
did lunch ever!

At dawn, workers,
and, even loafers,
do get up from cots,
leaving wives forlorn!

Muraina wakes muezzin,
Gebu is a Christian,
Owonikoko a traditionalist,
Jafojo, a free thinking spirit!

All are united,
in this business,
of making concrete
jungle of our cities!

It appears,
their own god,
does sleep,
he’s to be woken!

Muezzin calls him!
Prayer warrior,
bell jangling,
Him calling!

Traditionalist,
an icing
on prayer
cake!

He goes,
evangelizing,
Good deeds:
Good behaviors;
Take you;
To God;
The real God!
