David Oladipupo Olorunshola Poems

Why do you watch
And stand by, while being violated
Not once, but again and again
Leaving gory spectacles in your wake
...

You are not the only one
Fighting; everyone has his fight.
It is actually a fight for life;
A fight for living
...

Where is that just society?
Where is that voice of reason?
If you were dump,
It would have been excusable
...

Just before dawn
Before the sun rises,
Rising as early as possible
With the hen clucking still
...

Dreams of tomorrow; although the
Horizon may look obscure and deem
With high hopes and great expectations;
Shines bright
...

What is your colour?
How beautiful is your colour
How well and brilliant
Is the colour of love?
...

My Land
I am troubled over you
Though you show strength and courage
Can somebody assuage my fears
...

The day
Like today so bright and sunny
Where you enjoy going out
The cool breeze still blowing
...

Only once
You only live once
And with the unique opportunity
To change your world
...

Will it not have been better
Not to be born at all
If blood had not been poured
And men had not sat together
...
