Adewale Ajakanri

African Child
Black is my color
I am an African Child
I live a life of fear as poverty is a close friend to us
...

The past has gone
The Future is waiting
Today is here and
now that matters most
...

I'm writing down this letter, to my unborn daughter
Who before her first breath, my heart she's already
won
I love you more then anyone can devise
...

Happy birthday my best friend
Amazing times, we always spend.
Laughter and jokes are common place,
Since we built that solid base.
...

I really love my mother,
And it surely makes me proud,
To know I'm one of her kids,
And to sing her praises loud.
...

On the 1st Of October 19**
A great mum Rose Odiase was created to this world
Today marks the day you are celebrated on your special day of your birth
...

Hold my hands is what I asked my special friend
My special friend, close your eyes, hold my hand
And hear me whisper.....
...

I hate when my enemies eats from my pot
i simply hate fake friends
and I blast out if i don't want you as a friend
No more calmness or fear
...

Freedom in Nigeria
Isn't really free;
We often pay a price
To keep our liberty.
...

Happy birthday my mother and friend
Since I was a child you would always defend
Your love has always been unconditional
Even when my moods were transitional
...

Do you remember when we were little kids
Dancing freely on the highway
our hair flowing in the breeze
Playing all day without a care in the world
...

During days like this
All you think of is your future
Never get worried concerning uh past
Let your instinct build on your future
...

loneliness is killing me right now
and not even the angels can save me
I have not seen you for long
and i really wish i could break the bridge
...

That very day you wanna dope or feel alrite
you remember that great herb that puts smoke into the air
Marijuana or weed or SK or Kush or jedii or igboo
whatever you call it
...

I just know it in mind
how much i am missing you
and it really builds pain in me every single day
its still hard to believe you are gone
...

Silent death, silent sadness,
Silent cry, silent mourn
We all get silent in our heart
The world seems to be quiet
...

We are far from each other
Our hands barely touch each other
The road to out future love had been destroyed
Your wish had been pull down
...

As I was not there the day of your birth
I rely on stories to tell of your worth
Our family begin to grow again
As we now reached four
...

Touch me softly,
With your beautiful lips
Touch me gently,
Put your hands on my hips,
...

Living a world of our own
In tears and laughter
Hundreds are rich
Millions are poor
...
