The Great Fire

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.

Keys and Strings

Astonished I am By thine comely grace Lush green leaves swaying in the breeze All hang their apex in jealousy When you walk by The midday sun is it as hot As your cool beauty. Awesomeness is your birthright Omidan, Arẹwà Ọmọge míì. I don't know how to play the harp I'd have sing to you With the strings. And I can't play the piano I'd have made you blush With the keys. All I know is lines I hope my lines are strong enough To reel you in. To me, Mine and mine alone. There is love in sharing, But I can't share my love. I'm the sole proprietor here.  Ridwan Akinkunmi Àjàgbé. Abu Marwan (Sophocles)
