The Great Fire

By
Consuming all in it’s path
Sprinting around with energy abound
Shapeless like an ameoba
Burning twigs, hides, fur and skin
Destroying everything it touches
Licking the ground clean
Insatiable, more victims it want
Leaving desolation in it’s wake
Making landlord homeless
And the homeless hopeless
Fiery body of destruction
Grey, colourless and white ashes
Marking it’s trail
Melting iron
And boiling steel
The great fire consumes all
And spare none.

I seek refuge in the Lord

From the evils of the fire.

Full of hope joy and expectations Celebrating the arrival of my messiah It is you I have been waiting for Grinding to a halt feelings of despair Until I heard the story That saddens me Makes me feel minute Inconsequential Unwanted I am Just a little boy, immature Then I buckle my belt Through thick and thin Rain and snow, my aim is you I'll fight for my glory. #SOPHOCLES #Ayoife

Omolola

Omolola mi Because of you, I can trek from Awe all the way to Sabo From the jungles of Akinmoorin to the slums of Isale-Oyo, Even if you want, I can forsake my beloved fufu for noodles. The love I have for you is more than be careful. Although my eyes are pushing me I will bravely face any member of your clan The seed of love you planted in my heart has turned to a great tree of affection Even the giant Iroko will be dwarfed.

Dictator

             To the speeding lecturer Like the cheetah in the jungle your nature is running Albeit with your mouth Perhaps, hot yam is pressed against your tongue speeding across the pages of the book my pen is restless numb with pain of trying to keep up with the parade of your word 'come again' sir?' "hmm" "na wa o" echoes across the hall But like the black faced old bat you are deaf to the sound Old fashioned Sticking to old notes the same used by my grannies in college now i know why you are a profesor you taught them all with the same old note Forever speeding, never explaining... #SOPHOCLES
