Ramadan

By
On it's way
Slowly moving away
Packing up it's array
Of bounties and blessings
We meet again
In three six five days
Or less
Oh Lord! Make me witness
The one coming
And after
And after
Till I expire
Unshackled they'd be
Angry, and seeking revenge
Setting new strategies
Inventing greater challenges
Catching the weak unawares
And testing the strong through tears
Oh Lord!
Make me strong
Focus, grace and power
To replicate
Myriad of achievements
Seemingly impossible in it's absense
28/30 or is it 28/29
The month that has it all;
Night of ascension
Revelation of The Divine Guidance
Night of thousands of blessings
Oh Ramadan

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

By
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
