Bolami lawal Poems

Palm oil and cowries,
Three pieces of bean cakes
At three cross roads;
Naked dances in the market place
...

Brother;
O brother!
Why does your luster
Gave the illusion of pearl?
...

The wind called and spells doom
Manacing against hopes and ripping dreams apart
Chasing them into utter ruin; in no direction per se
I stayed still, watching in dispair
...

Each time i gazed upon the purity
of a smiling child,
upon the sincerity on his blameless face,
the streaming flow of his innate peace; and
...

We felt the hit,
It came so hard on us;
Those words erupted with fury,
Like a sharp piercing
...

Asogbo
O! Daughter of purity
fixed between a cluster of hills
laying low, but well guarded;
...

Her mischief speaks in volume
as she sauntered through the front door-
uninvited; unannounced,
her arms carefully stroking its frames;
...

From a far distance
I heard your whisper
A thousand times
It echoed still
...

It's june
The farmer's spell
With cutlasses and hoes
We rushed off our feet;
...

I have listened to men talk of
Race, politics and religion
Self seeking barriers crafted by men
I often hear the talk on justice
...
