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
...

Am in love with different class
Class has demarcated us
Happiness has no class
As love is not bias with class
...

The space is too narrow for all of us
Only the kings of kings have their palaces full of largesse
The cry in the street does not deprived waste in the palace
Slots at the top is not citizenship proof neither meritocracy call
...

It is the poor against the rich
The sun that set late in the evening
Can only be imagined on the rich life style
Only the poor sees what the rich does
...

I imagined the best of love in the dream
But today life shift as l ponder who have l loved and who have loved me
If l do not understand the feeling of those who love me
But l do for those l love
...

In my mood and meditation l look on to my world
I search the mystery
And l see in the mystery
How weak are they?
