Fawole Immanuel Taiwo

God, he is called
With the features of his name in reverse.
Adorations accompanied with success are ascribed to him.
Libation indebted to him.
...

Akin to the sword falling
From the hand of a prolific fighter
And as the pen falling
From a valiant writer
...

Though
~ I toured her holy land feeless
~ she caressed me chargeless
~ I prize the minutes we spent together
...

My knees feel the impact of my mission,
Like the mantis';
Supplicating to Divinity.
Denial has been imposed on my enticing couch,
...

The bird could sing sonorously to nature's beat
The flower opens and stretches it's arms at nature,
Probably for a hug or procreation.
The Watt at which sun dispenses—
...

Perambulate I feature in a trance.
In it I was flaunted duo phases
In them I eye twain factions
Differ in looks and operations,
...

I give a meticulous gaze into the wood.
I see sundry trees,
But I have not discerned the best as Iroko.
Copious leaves has my mouth harboured,
...

The wails of little children now fill the air.
The laughter of kids is what we no longer hear.
Who bears the handkerchief to wipe the tears of this children?
If no one does then;
...

(A pro-inter-tribal relationship)
*
Germane to the search for broth ingredients and spices
By an housewife,
...

This place seems dry.
It's but unusual.
What has gone wrong with this field?
A place of pleasant cacophonies has gone mute.
...

All hail Mama Ibeji
Through whom her black pot
Two white paps materialised.
Through whose hardship and agony
...

Woe on the 'compoop
Who has thought of the girls
As a lower animal.
A male chauvinist—
...

Pertinent to the Prodigal son,
I have lost my wings and control
To the wind of Mammonism.
My crave for power and fame
...

Our mutuality, the world hails
Standing at Akimbo for a gaze
We are engulfed as an ideology amongst a race
My fall is no false
...

On their black and otherwise morsels
They'll pack us and convey us to their mouths
A seat we were given amongst the six classes
We are greens inevitable to man
...

On that fateful day
That heaven refused to grin on me
But chose to grin on my foe
That day has marked me memorial
...
