Babajide Adepoju Poems

I am as old as the earth
4.6 billion years old
Are they concerned about my age
I have been screwed by the sapiens of the earth
...

I've not conquered
golden cities
Like Napoleon and Alexander did
But I've fought greater battles
...

I am the best in the world
I've been the best
Ever since day one
Trust me when I tell you
...

I've seen the beauty of the ocean waves
I've seen them travelled to reach the land
I've dreamed about taking a journey
To a place along the sea
...

They sneaked into the limbo of time,
Packaged but never arranged on a straight line,
Partial moralists and Barrets of our time,
I remembered the times we were blind
...

Historical memoirs
Told by my mother
Heard by my mother's mother
Experienced by the mother of my mother's mother
...

I've known a world where the dark don't sleep

A world where white hair
...

By the angels who extract with violence

And by those who remove with ease
...

In times about
Chaos reigned
pandemonium ruled
And fear dominated
...
