Raimi Babatunde Poems

Take me back to yesterday
When holiness trumped prosperity
When churches won souls
Not the craze for numbers and money
...

Alone in the sands
The fields was yellow
It lost its greenery
What could have happened?
...

Oh! Africa!
Let me tell you
About my dearest Africa
The cradle of human civilization
...

Time is a commodity
Short in supply
I can't wait anylonger
That's why I want to worship
...

My love for you,
Like a candle that doesn't loose its flame
Despite the breeze of trials blown.
...

May today bring you dews
Dews raining with favour
That will culminate in turnarounds
...

She saved my line with "Mugu"
And you said it means "Darling"
You never have data
Yet, you are always
...

A Poem: Stop Female Genital Mutilation

I watched the cut
Blood flowed freely
...

You are not a mother
Yet you mock a mother
Who chose motherhood
Instead of being a muderer
...

My pretty daughter
My joy, my companion
My heartbeat, my pride
My gist partner, my advisor
...
