Adewale Ajakanri Poems

African Child
Black is my color
I am an African Child
I live a life of fear as poverty is a close friend to us
...

The past has gone
The Future is waiting
Today is here and
now that matters most
...

I'm writing down this letter, to my unborn daughter
Who before her first breath, my heart she's already
won
I love you more then anyone can devise
...

Happy birthday my best friend
Amazing times, we always spend.
Laughter and jokes are common place,
Since we built that solid base.
...

I really love my mother,
And it surely makes me proud,
To know I'm one of her kids,
And to sing her praises loud.
...

On the 1st Of October 19**
A great mum Rose Odiase was created to this world
Today marks the day you are celebrated on your special day of your birth
...

Hold my hands is what I asked my special friend
My special friend, close your eyes, hold my hand
And hear me whisper.....
...

I hate when my enemies eats from my pot
i simply hate fake friends
and I blast out if i don't want you as a friend
No more calmness or fear
...

Freedom in Nigeria
Isn't really free;
We often pay a price
To keep our liberty.
...

Happy birthday my mother and friend
Since I was a child you would always defend
Your love has always been unconditional
Even when my moods were transitional
...
