Pius beeps Adamu Poems

Life is a rejoicing paradise full of grief.
It is a dancing candlelight amid the gale.
Life is a like a day so short and brief.
It is a sweet sad adventurous tale..
...

We see the sun glow like a golden orb.
Till it relinquishes its power to the moon.
Yet we forget the struggles of life.
We hear the birds singing on the boughs.
...

Woman, raven of the tropics.
You are lovely, and I sing to you this song,
With sadness missing the warmth of your arms.
I have waited in the dark night.
...

My mother my heroic mother.
Blessèd is the womb that bore you.
For the ancestral blessings you still possess.
I stayed in you for a thousand days,
...

The day is over, over the high mountains the sun has fallen.
The day  is lost like a gold coin in the sands buried and forgotten.
The match of the day is over and like players we must retire.
Awaiting the unknown road we shall tomorrow tread..
...

Let it be written...

My heart is full of an unusual gladness.
I think I will dance like a wasp round the light..
...

On the highway in which we tread.
Are men who are being swindled.
The walls are littered with faces.
Sanctimonious they seem..
...

Soft lady, purest of all waters.
Sweetly I think of you in my duties.
For you are all that matters.
You are the pinnacle of all beauties. 
...

Sing to me a song to tarry.
A song that will soothe any clime.
Sing to me and make merry.
For the truth knows no bounds nor dime.
...

Be my heroine O Africa!

Sitting in the dark shining hut, I call on you.
Africa, with a certain hope and power.
