When dire situation arises
And you show lesser people your hand
Giving them knowledge best reserved
Cos of help you seek
At best,little they are
But puff up with importance
Shoulders carried high
With intellect so low
Powerful, blessed, untouchable they think
They are
Speck of dust under my foot
Holds more esteem
Than they command
But these are dire times
Pride locked away
In cold crypt of my mind
Rough seas, high hills and rough climes
No wind at sea
To push my ship to bay
Patiently waiting
Silently taking
All they can throw at me
But when the Asgardian warrior
Rise again
The puny creatures will know
How inconsequential they really are

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)
