David Oladipupo Olorunshola Poems

While you are where you are
You need to rethink what you want
To do if what you are about,
Does not seems tobe working
...

The rulers go about with so
Much funfair and accolade;
From their cronies and sycophants
That parade.
...

For every runner; in shoelace
Desires to run and win the race
For some, only inspired and joy
To participate; not to be disgrace
...

Lay them by the river side;
And do not slide
And let the river carry them away;
Nor be sway
...

Oh, sleeper arise
How long will you continue
To sleep? Wake up from your
Slumber; Let your soul and
...

In the thick darkness
Having only the moon for light
The olive trees creating delight
Of huge shadows on the ground
...

Blowing from the east
Is the wheel of change
To the nooks and crannies
Of the country
...

Who can understand this
And who can prepare
And be sufficiently able
To know what to do
...

Walk not in offence
Rather practice defence
Protecting your soul and heart
Against its deadly onslaught
...

My faith, my fears
My issues, my battles
My trials, my temptations
My failures, my sins
...
