Joel Aboderin Poems

Many in the gallows
Only for the witness to part their lips
Freedom will they know
...

For me it's a choice of life or death
Treasures or trashes
Have you counted the cost?
Peradventure your soul is lost
...

I have given up so many things
Many more to give up
For this eternal home
All that need be will I give up
...

My brother from another Mother
I want to lend you as you have asked
But for your other brothers
They shed more tears than you can feign
...

To be black, white or yellow
To have straight, curly or blond hair:
No Man chose
But to hate and kill 'cos of race
...

There is this rodent in my room
Pays me no rent for to live
Misses no appetizer or dessert
Maneuvers aptly to avoid death
...

As they grew
They became independent
No more to be tossed
...

The hounds
Always so alive in the morning
Their Sweet Dreams they want to set in motion
Walking them out to pee
...
