Adebayo Tajudeen Poems

COMPANION OF THE CABIN
Fate brought them together
Tightened by toil, they remain bounded
Visited by same vicissitude
...

                 
Fire cold as an ice              
Yet its flame burns          
Water flow life
...

I am from you and from you I took
a fraction of you makes my frame
I took of your substance
leaving you frail and pail,
...

Give man life
He ask or immortality,
give him a wife
he lusts for concubines
...

What taste is of a lump of flesh?
Bitter than the green of bile yet
Sweeter than the brown of honey;
tinnier of an atom yet
...

Serve your heart with the
Poison of avarice
See it dead of contentment
Serve your mind with
...

In the hollow of a shapeless vacuum
suffice only to turn cyclical
where the preoccupation is
eat, play and swim
...

In the hollow of a shapeless vacuum
suffice only to turn cyclical
where the preoccupation is
eat, play and swim
...

With belly of bribes
corruption as character
voter's welfare, on their tongue
not in their hearts
...

fall for it trapped in it
clad in skimpy nude
bear it all
popping eyes gears
...

drowning without a resuerer
falling off the cliff without a pad
the road roughened, the floor too slippery
walking on thin rope tied to infinity
...

The Fool sees only roses in life
The confused sees the dark side of it
The Sycophants see opportunities
The Traitor see benefits not sacrifice
...

Everyday I'm born
made good or bad
Every sleep the old me dies
Every wake a new me is born
...

I am only but a child
Teach me so I may know
And teach others
Don’t open the door for me
...

Mine will always be mine
And to you belongs yours
To the trash belongs the rag
What man is without his own?
...

Learn to love before you hate
Else you become cynic
Trust before you doubt
Else you become a pessimist
...

CONTRAST OF TWO EXTREMES
Fear kills initiatives
Hope keeps dreams alive
Fear dim today’s opportunities
...

Arise! My soul beyond the expectation
Fly above imaginations
The sun rises everyday
Even though it sets
...

The Best Poem Of Adebayo Tajudeen

Companion Of The Cabin

COMPANION OF THE CABIN
Fate brought them together
Tightened by toil, they remain bounded
Visited by same vicissitude
They eek out livelihood from meager means
Their home gone! Job in vain they search

Rough with no roof, they struggled on
Scramble to survive, theirs is a case of
Brothers brought together into companions
Comrade of common interest
Forced by life to face ignominy

Best of house they shared
Come rain or shine
In cold and heat, comrades in common
Life spares you no spank of it
Constraint by space yet
Their heart spacious for more

Years pass by, masons and palace made for you
Delight in it, rejoice
For the sweetness of your sweat
Has come to pay you back for your diligence
