Oyetunji Toba Poems

Oh! Independence
On a soft October.
Born by the Sweat's from the noblemen of political flair,
When flag's of Green white Green flies up in the sky: then twas as bright shinny as the sun, and the yellow twilight at noon delight our souls.
...

They yelled day and night.
Curse is upon us, curse of our fathers sin.
In this curse we have grown, holed in darkness.
For sure, this is a curse on us.
...

All you need is to hold on a little longer,
When your hope melt away like a snow in the summer,
A new time will dawn again,
To ease your pain,
...

Silent night!
You are a period enveloped in darkness.
Guided by the beautiful face of the Stars and the moon.
You offer great tidings of joy to all.
...
