Babajide Aina Poems

Tell all mothers it shall be well with them
Tell them God notice their labor
Remind them it is a sacrifice
This sacrifice as make king and queen out of the ordinary
...

one birth
one life
one life one road
one road one destiny
...

Like a breeze through the window
A flame in the fire
It comes unknown and share
Abroad in my heart
...

As I look my entire life am too indebted to the one and only
The more I strive to offset my debts, the more I incur more
In pretense that nothing, the more he pays my other creditors
As I say how much is the interest the more he shows no agreement
...

In our land, no surprise, only to the outsiders
Although we don't know what to belief again
May be our patriarch story of honesty pays
Or of the leaders of our time whose successes can only be celebrated in our village
...

Who created her?
A strange woman
Thorn in his flesh
Loud and stubborn
...

Virginity is a seal
Not a modern seal
The seal is sacred
Seal of ownership and freshness
...

Its architects and builder are on this side
The man to the great beyond lives in it
All value for beauty
Dead march to the grave, epitaph a remember
...

Who do you know
even to be at the funeral?
where the breath has separated the mortal garment.
in which the giant is on the floor
...

OTHER SIDE OF LOVE
Do not say I love you
Not until you are on the other side
Where pain and pleasure are not the same
...
