David Oladipupo Olorunshola Poems

My back is turned to you
In order to find solace from afar
My heart can no longer understand
As my spirit find no standard
...

In haste the emissaries ran
To prevent a consequence so dire
Alas, no remedy, no help in site
With eyes filled with torrent of water
...

No more lack; no more sweat
Let lack be like a broken reed
Though, a pronouncement was made
For which the ground cannot resist
...

I am but a child

Why do you judge me
Knowing that I am a victim of circumstances
...

What's on your mind?
And what is it filled with
Is it blank or crowded?
Filled with garbage trash
...

Oh, dear mother
How sweet and wonderful you are
Ever so caring and watchful
Like a chicken over it's chicks
...

Why lie
Why not tell the truth
So that you will be free
Your mind will be free
...

Whenever you smile
It makes me smile
So heartily a laughter, you laugh
That my heart bubbles
...

In my village
Whenever the heavens
Open up and bring down
It's content
...

Sometimes

You ask yourself
...
