Adeosun Olamide Poems

In Townsville' up city, up hill
Dwell a lonely shed in gut mist
Its egress ajar to breeze and storm
In shed up the city, up hill
...

Forgive- Maria
And know of darling shivers
Forgive- Maria
And know truly I failed
...

Ma told
Let blind say him see
And poor he rich says
Let sick say him strong
...

So I saw the Koya's
And the Kennedy's too
Heard their men talk in here
-How they tire their wives
...

Don't you like waves on the sea
-to in sweetness it be swallowed?

Don't you like blaze of fire
...

She is scared
Of not knowing tomorrow
-That she may alone be
With all avoiding path hers
...

Forgive Hannah, death beloved daughter
Pardon- that I couldn't save her
Take solace for love had part in demise
...

Two words or more
She starved baby
Two words or more
She claim tired
...

In Nigeria
-Bombs are strapped on kids,
The kids are driven to schools,
To markets and dropped off-
...

There is a noisy silence enchanted within
That makes shiver heart mine
One- darkness won't set free
It's the ticking of a clock
...
