Babatunde Aremu Poems

This place is a market
Its not a permanent abode
We all come to the market
At different time
...

Abuja, centre of opulence
You are the ocean
Where tributary rivers flow into
Your garden is full of fresh waters
...

Don't try to look down on me
Never think I am nothing
My colour or race does not matter
Neither is my physique a determinant
...

An enigma, a patriot
A lover, a global citizen
A soldier without sword
A generalissimo without blood stain
...

If you love me
You will go extra mile
To love what I love
...

It is rewarding to be transparent
There is an enduring joy
In living with open mind
A man with two faces
...

Wailing! Wailing! ! Wailing! ! !
Beclouds our streets
Tears of sorrows
Floods our habitations
...

Golden streets,
Eternal lanes,
Not built by man
Nor laid with rubbles
...

We shed tears
Demanding for justice
Wailing for equality
We condemn autocracy
...

Never knew the road is bumpy
Never envisaged any trepidation
Full of optimism of a babe
The baggage is packed
...
