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...

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.

Farmer's love

During tears and wears, I'll be with you No mixed feeling, not unlike morning dew Just know I'm yours. High or low. I'll write you a love song, ink deepest blue Describing you from head to toe My pen running around the pages, covered in hue Any iota of doubt, weed it out All lumps of distrust, lemme get a plough These feelings of love, irrigate it Your trust in me, let's fertilize it I want to harvest you in all your glory Love maximization is my only aim Take me for who I am This is a farmer's love The poem may be horrible I know But that's my best you know I speak in cutlass, hoe and feed This is a farmer's love.... #SOPHOCLES

My morning dew, exuding a serene atmosphere of calm.. Alluring, amazing, awesome... my golden tiara... Running through my mind, heart, but never so far... Young, beautiful with manners, my beacon in this sea, my quay.... Anchoring to this plane of existence, my mana... My bouy in this sea of mayhem
