ABAYOMI OGUNNIYI Poems

The silence of a caged world

Fade, i see no world
more dangerous
...

Blown in the middle of the
dust.
Driven to the noise of the
coast.
...

The street.

Flaunting beneath the steam
of the sun,
...

Penchant for greed,
the bitter ambition
of deceit at the sore
of shame.
...

Strength in the mind,
the seal of description
to lift.
...

The freedom journey of a nation.

Feeling drops in the
slippery valley of
...

Dreams of our father,
hope of our mothers.

The moving prayers
...

Shadow of the womb,
covered by the veil
of blood and water
beneath the coast
...

I stand before you my fellow mountain
beneath the cloud;
speaking consciousness to the thick
sprout of the grasses in the wind
...

Dancing jamboree of the west,
The roaring drums of power
In the music of the north.
...
