Lay Rite
Lay Rite Poems
I had seen beauty before
Beauties, in many movies and living life
And I had seen pretty parading
Previously and still presently at occasions
...
Jos, what century do you think we are?
What is with you that every time you have a problem
You have to sacrifice human lives?
Can you grow up so that we can have peace?
...
What the hell is wrong with this man
Who thinks he is a God?
And what the hell is wrong with the girl
Who thinks she is a queen?
...
Home,
Where the depleted energies
Lost in the ever continuous combat
Of living life or in trying to,
...
Sweat soaked shirt, suite and all
He shouted his driver to halt
Without waiting for the Honda to completely stop
He impatiently and violently flung the door open
...
Kilometres away from Ibadan, Miles away from Osogbo,
Iwo, the city of odidere,
Odidere, the bird that always return home.
A pure icon of patriotism.
...
(On a visit to my start)
Hail the school
Hail the ocean that flows
Ever and ever it flows
...
There lived millenniums before, humans
Who never had to worry about some obscure chemistry
Nor did they get curious about their earth
And there was never nothing like economy
...
Don't lament
Never forget
The blood unseen
And the cause unknown
...

The Best Poem Of Lay Rite
Overtime
I had seen beauty before
Beauties, in many movies and living life
And I had seen pretty parading
Previously and still presently at occasions
And I had seen them being proudly paraded
In the presence of those privy
But your beauty, I was never privy
To the likeness, in life or movies
The illuminating light complexion
That lights spot up long before your arrival
Unavoidably, unintentionally announces your approach
Only a saint could dare resist
Or perhaps pretends to!
The eyes, white, clear and sexy
The eye balls, well placed with
The naturally sensational eyelids
Together they set hearts longing.
And the ear; normal, nice and fitting
In consonance with a proportionate nose
The kind you want to kiss all the time
What can you do with the inviting lips?
Did I forget the black shining hair on a modelly head?
And the face with its beautiful features
Would certainly send Da Vinci into nonstop drawing frenzy
And inspire Donne to write a treatise.
Don’t get me started on the build
The wonder and meticulousness of the build
With its impeccable architecture
And unparalleled artisanship
Would make Eiffel green with envy of the Maker.
This queen of beauty I know
With her softspokeness and politeness
Openness and accommodating principle
Friend to everyone who deserves
Helper to all who are in need.
This angel I befriend
All the time I keep wondering
How on earth could beauty,
Intellect, civility, and humility be built in one person?
Someone must have done overtime,
Was my only logical answer.
