Bakare Oluwagbenga Michael Poems

Living in pains and inferiority;
They dreamed to make a name.
Farming and eating on mines of indignity;
They persevered and beared the shame.
...

I love the way you look at me;
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you smile at me;
Your smile so cute and lovely.
...

Follow the star;
Do not loose it;
It leads to the path of righteousness.
Follow the star;
...

Looking up the sky;
I got a blank stare-back.
Sailing accross the pacific;
Yet no hope of a destination.
...

More than just its look of propriety;
It fills the world with dreams of vanity;
Man cares for it with order of entity;
Stripping young and old of his dignity;
...

When I was a little child;
I was a little wild;
A little adventurous;
A little naughty;
...

A man is hopeless without a woman;
Joy holds no value without sorrow;
Life will be less meaniful without death;
Health will be really cheap if there are no diseases;
...

Where is the Democracy in the absence of Freedom?
-
-
We were told there's freedom of speech;
...

Promises of change crushed those of transformation;
The battle between them was meant to be fierce;
But we bet all our coins on change to win effortlessly;
Change seemed to be the real deal then;
...
