Nobody really knew of their existence
until the year 2626
Prior to that year it was merely speculation
...
STANZA ONE
He had the heart of a lion
And the strength of a bear
Ripping his enemies apart
...
Africa! A land flowing with milk and honey.
Devoured by greed and the love for money
Where corruption thrives and war is a common place
Where will Africa show her true real face?
...
Beautiful gypsy riding in a caravan
With a black mongrel and an old man
In the cold winter
...
Fly little hummingbird
Sing to me
And if you do I promise to set you free
Fly little hummingbird
...
Mechanical men built with of bolts, steel and screws
Embedded with a computer program stating the Don’ts and Dos
Wiring the components demands so much care
...
Friends are hard to find so be careful
Friends are like the wind
They blow to you when your days are good
Friends are like the storm
...
And to all those I have wronged
I am remorseful
For my life is an enigma
And at times I lose my way
...
I have nothing
Except the air in my lungs
Which will one day return
To whom it belongs
...
What are these ancient creatures?
Which once dominated the earth
Left a mark which we will never forget
They came and saw during the Triassic era
...
You think that security belongs to you
Because you have done all you need to do
You think that wisdom belongs to a few
Because the rest of us are fools
...
You offered me a false paradise
When I am dead
You offered me Utopia
But my world
...
What is the purpose of my existence?
Why am I here?
Is it to bring joy to the life of others?
Or to spread despair
...
Once was wretched
But now owns a golden land
Where diamonds and pearls rock his feet
Like giant balls of sand
...
You may be rich
And I may be poor
But to the road to happiness
Knows no separate door
...
You re beautiful like stars in the night skies
Even death cannot separate us
Because we’re destined for each other
No wonder why
...
What is love?
An expression of the desire
A feeling that makes me happy each day
And lifts my soul higher
...
The Best Poem Of Olusegun Akanbi
Aliens
Nobody really knew of their existence
until the year 2626
Prior to that year it was merely speculation
From an old scientist's bag of tricks
Lutus does not lie in the habitable zone of its star
Yet it is habitable
Hot and not very far
From Numulus
A mega super star
Sitting in the dark corners of the massive Milky Way
Nobody ever thought that we would see this day
Our predecessors had always talked about extraterrestrials
As little green men
Or horrifying monsters sitting in what looks like a lion’s den
Riding in flying saucers
But those people were double crossers
What we sighted
Were nothing like men
And were unlikely monsters
As if God wanted to shield humanity from its doom
Aliens approaches with a boom
They were worm like chimeras
With one thousand legs
Or was it feet
Looking for meat
They emerged from their colonies
That looks like a gigantic cocoon
Lying deep in a sea of water about the size of a lagoon
Glowing with bright light
We humans prepared for a fight
We fires on targets with our sophisticated weapons
The aliens simply multiplied in seconds
Right before their eyes
We flew to the skies
Because there was no where to hide
And we had lost our pride
We flew away with our rocket boots
And made away with all our loots
To our spacecraft
A masterpiece of technology
But of that age it was an apology
The Lutus D 9 2700
With rock samples and specimens of skin of the worm monsters
What are they made of?
It is hard to tell
But seeing the way they rebel
It is obvious Lutus is hell
Aliens vomited a strange yellowish substance
Some damage the ship and caused resistance
We left our robot guards to contend with them
As we watched from a distance
What are these simple beings?
That looks like earthly serpents that caused us fleeing
With an enormous strength and size
I saw it swallow up our space mobiles before it flies
They retreat to undisclosed location in the black sea
We dropped a nuclear device and made Lutus history
Intending the total annihilation of the entire worm race
But the more we killed the more these worms full the place
A midst the mushroom cloud
The next nuclear explosion sounded loud
Worms multiplied by asexual union
Army of aliens now over ten thousand billion
We have no other alternative than to abandon mission
This was a very hard decision
For me to take
But it was taken
To avoid internecine before I wake
And a nightmare that took place in Lutus’ black lake
