Asaolu Abayomi Poems

Shadows couldn't cover
Fears dropped me nearly down
Tough I said
Tougher I see
...

Thorns shook me to bleed
Winter harmattan failed to dry the flow
Endlessly I felt battered
Newer each day
...

PART 1:

An angel
With a blue eye
...

Lo and behold
What we longed to see
Lo and behold
What we fought to see
...

what we dreamt of
our home booming
surplus we learned of
our land fully glooming
...

lying still on my cold plain
motionless I am under my blanket
pain alone it is to step out
my hands tied to my sofa
...

Adekanbihas been chosen
withoutbias he has been entrusted
Adekambi has been given
ancestral trust he is granted
...

screams of wariness
sounds of Shame
whistle of retreat
peril of pride
...

sail us through the deep
oh emeritus sailor
lead us to our destination
captain of captains
...

On the platter of gold
Our land blossom
Our crops none can compare
Our seeds none can match
...
