Babatunde Aremu

Nature orderly sets the sky
Empowering sun as day king
And moon takes charge of nights
Stars are ordained as rays
...

I am a poet.
There is ink in my blood.
I flow through lines
As a river meandering its course.
...

Open those tight fists
Do not hold back
Make your palms transparent
Release that dime
...

They know the truth
Yet they tricked the truth
They see the truth
Yet they are blind to the truth
...

Do not say I am biase
There was a beautiful woman
She was the best of all women
An epitome of selflessness
...

There are billions of stars in the sky
There are trillions of lamps on earth
None glows like the beautiful moon
At your uprise the world glows
...

Mr soldier is woken by the beagle
Left, right he is marched on by the whistle
The sound of the whistle
Is a clarion call to duty
...

It may look ordinary
But that smile is pleasant
To take away those strains
Exude that inner joy now
...

Seven days are in a week
Five are boisterous
I love the serenity of weekends
Less traffic, low noise,
...

Birds do beautifully display
Their feathers in the skies
Lions proudly show off
Their brittle hairs in the jungles
...

When you see a man behaving well
People are curious to know his family
When a naughty interacts
His source is easily identified
...

Season comes,
Season vanishes,
Its a cosmic design
If the wind is contrary
...

A stone cast into the sky
Must surely fall down to the earth
No matter how greenish the grass is
It is a rich delicacy to herds
...

Its not just love for today
Neither is it for this week
My love towards you trancends this month
It is not an annual love
...

I am a special man
Addressed as a gentleman
My posture is calm
Inside me is ruggedness
...

Often we gaze into the sky
Longing for the descension of the spirit
Oblivious of the angels around us
We discontence the God-sent in our midst
...

Twenty kids cannot seat together
Listening to the same folktales
Continously for twenty years
We diversely came to the world
...

I once sojourned in a land,
Seeking for solution to my bewildermernt.
The more I probed, the more I was confused.
Why do some fail where others succeed?
...

Just before dawn
Ere light glows
Just as cock crows
Before the early morning bell
...

Time, was, is, be
Time, a passing moment
Time, a past gone
Time, a future yet seen
...
