Babatunde Aremu Poems

Birds do beautifully display
Their feathers in the skies
Lions proudly show off
Their brittle hairs in the jungles
...

Season comes,
Season vanishes,
Its a cosmic design
If the wind is contrary
...

A stone cast into the sky
Must surely fall down to the earth
No matter how greenish the grass is
It is a rich delicacy to herds
...

Its not just love for today
Neither is it for this week
My love towards you trancends this month
It is not an annual love
...

I am a special man
Addressed as a gentleman
My posture is calm
Inside me is ruggedness
...

Often we gaze into the sky
Longing for the descension of the spirit
Oblivious of the angels around us
We discontence the God-sent in our midst
...

I once sojourned in a land,
Seeking for solution to my bewildermernt.
The more I probed, the more I was confused.
Why do some fail where others succeed?
...

Twenty kids cannot seat together
Listening to the same folktales
Continously for twenty years
We diversely came to the world
...

Just before dawn
Ere light glows
Just as cock crows
Before the early morning bell
...

Time, was, is, be
Time, a passing moment
Time, a past gone
Time, a future yet seen
...
