Moonlight Guest

Just by the late hour of the night

I see a shadow by me so bright

He sticks around me like glue

Moves to and fro just as I do

He shoots and grows taller like a rubber-tree

Or shorter, the height no man could be

Songs of the Righteous Man

I was born in hardship

But thanks to God for seeing me through

I was never born great

But achieved greatness full of weight

To Gani (Human Rights Activist)

The traveller was back to the shore

Only to meet his ferry gliding away

Helped by the changes of the tide

And an ocean tears of bitterness

That accumulated while he was away

The Bride

Decades after, the suitors still come to sway
Approaching with enthusiasm and murderous love
With brim confidence to lure her away
Yet show little for the legitimates to approve

A Tribute to Dagrin

DAGRIN, a leader in entertainment gone so soon

From mother earth to the dark grave room

Emotions were betrayed we never thought you’ll depart

But we‘ve conclude to admit you’ve played your part

The Take Off

The plane roars steadily signalling its departure

Standing on the tarmac ready to take off

Anxious passengers sat silently, hearts in their mouth

As the waving flags descends from mobile waving hands

Elephant

Between the lush green thick walled vegetation
And the tall pillars dotting round the forest
The murmuring movement of the protesting shrubs
Telegraphs the alarming arriving practical steps of an elephant

Dregs of the Society

As the world turns grey and famished

Cordiality has been neglected equally banished

Evil cults have gradually taken over with maturity

With violence to assert their ill-gotten authority

The Departure

In the still of the sleepless night

After the sun went behind the sky

And the horizon clear of disturbances

With only the soft whispers of the dead heard

The general lay hidden in his tent dreaming

Rumble Beneath The Clouds

The face got cracked into the terrain
With a grin, growling and trembling
The charm has clout the scene
Hurling a peril as people raced about violently
