Bolutife Asake Poems

We are citizens of the street
Brought up in a way so strict
We are so restricted if our rights
Yet hungry and desperate
...

Love, Joy and Peace
are the promises of her,
A friend in a piece
...

Locked up in this cell
Nah, it's hell
No more can I hide
A feeling I can't compare to nothing
...

I believe in life.
I console the life broken
I now am face to face with me
I am the force that makes you find you and lose you at the same time.
...

Here we are amidst zillions who craved nothing
than living a life without fears of brutality and poverty
nor of desperation, anguish and enimity
Yet, we elect into offices
...

Goodbyes are hurts
But painful are goodbyes which you say to the dead
Mourning while tears defile your face
Hurt. Pain. Dread
...

Ghosting me without closure
Where did I go wrong?
No Idea
What then happened?
...

On the sea of discontent
my ship my vessel of self and being
was tossed around ferociously
by the waves of hopelessness.
...
