Ajibola Lawalare Poems

I stand by the banister in the balcony and stare at the stars
some are shiny while others are gloomy,
the ones I stare at the most are the gloomy ones
this is when I think about the children on the street with no possibility of a brighter future
...

I sit here and watch the mirror and see the little man do the things I do.
Why don't you just stop and do your own thing, I understand so I'll be watching you
Let us put aside our differences, so you go out and take a walk.
