Friends With Benefit 2013 Poem by Adewale Ajakanri

Friends With Benefit 2013



Just as thousands have said that
Real friends are those friends that stays with you
and stand as your shadow both day and night
Early stage of our friendship looks tough
is it the agony of tears we had together
or the cry over our lost friends that are dead
is it the days of taking casava flakes for a day
is it the days we wear one shirt, one trouser and one bathroom slippers
or the days we work as labourers to feed ourselves
is it the days we were locked up at the police custody
or the days we are been harassed by street cultist
Even with all these
we still stand firm with a belief
we gonna get to the top
Here we are today
living in good health, wealth, joy and smiles
evil people thought the pains would separate us
but we said NO cos
Real friends are created to stay together through
Good and Bad days
'Great friends, that's what we are'
