Samuel Segun Toluwalase Poems

Look! Look at us
You remember? You remember it all?
You'd always went with me everywhere
You'd always kick a brick anywhere
...

The war came
Our swords drawn in bravery
Our bodies turned lame
And our hands bound in slavery
...

Far over the misty darkness hide
We'll play as lonely before the night
That under the stars our love may find
For I will forever hold you tight
...

I had to run away and hide
Something happened in the middle of the night
They came inside without a sound
Suddenly my life was turning upside down
...

As the darkness fades away
And the night breaks to day
Bring peace to me
I pray
...

As the birds flood the skies
There my peace must lie
For my eyes have seen
For my ears have heard
...

He is at it again!
Painting the realities of his world
Making known the unknown
Uprooting the evils sown
...

When my eyes go to sleep
And my weary flesh goes 6 feet deep
Let not your heart worry
Neither permits me sorry
...

Not like many in the large garden
We had many good things,
Goods flowers, sweet nectar that church birds always came sucking
Our part of the large plot was sweet like honey
...

They chase out
And try to pull us apart
They may scream and shout
And bid us depart
...
