Enikanoselu Seyi Poems

Night I thank you,
For saving me from the laborious day,
For releasing me from the captivity of the sun,
For protecting me from matilda of the rain.
...

I was born like I see, an imbecile,
I agreed within me,
I took to my fate,
I received pleasure and prestige,
...

"You must push the pen to the column, " my father commanded,
"Your paper isn't inked well, " mother yelled,
Waiting and sighing in perfidy;
Bending over the rough and dull monsters,
...

When water is over-boiled,
It begins to dry up,
Soon the pot becomes burnt,
All in the name of peace.
...

TEARS OF AGONY

I mourn but with silent tears,
I wail within, yet I smile out,
...

HURT HEART

This is the world of tragedy,
A world of failure and deceit,
...

When fire burns in the forest,
We all see its smokes,
When I say fire burns on the river,
You all bother me with queries,
...

I am an ant,
I live only not to die,
My pocket is not to build mansions,
Neither do I plan to make stables;
...

From the South,
Millions of sandstorms
Steaming like Mama stew on fire,
Loud echo of hot thunder rents the West,
...

A year of peril,
This moment of annual dinner,
Did I dine with terror,
Did I wine with horror,
...
