MAN

I shall labor to earn a living
I shall tilt the ground alone
Yet I shall eat the yam the least
I shall run the race to win
But the glory I shall bring home to give
If I am to bear a MAN
For years back I have been planting
Back home they wait confidently for the harvest
You will reap whatever you sow
I have been hearing that since when I was a child
But what happens to it after reaping?
They will always come eating
If I am to be called a MAN
I have to love and tolerate a woman
My heart has to be big enough
Peace loving
If I am to be called a husband
In the still of the night
Regardless the laboring of the day
The work goes on
If someday I am to be called a father
But that is not even enough
I have to work harder still
If I am to be called a SON, MAN, HUSBAND AND FATHER
In this world of hustling
I can’t help to stop struggling
If I want to keep leading
I realize success is not an option
It becomes priority for the man with mission
A MAN is responsible for things
But when he seize to be responsible
He’s sold out all his primary missions of life
He becomes a man that can’t man
Do you think you are a MAN?
Are you aspiring to be a MAN?
Then, work out to shine out the man in you
I have found in me the MAN.

OLUWADAMILARE

I was lost in a world of lust
Tracing back steps became so hard
End seems right here in the beginning
Whom do I call for a rescue?
How do I speak out to my helper?
My voice as good as that of a dumb
But suddenly something happened
Just on my to a suicide mission
Something so awesome to neither estimate nor evaluate

This thing left my mouth opened
It left my body shivering
OLUWADAMILARE
I was rejected and condemned but ……
OLUWADAMILARE
I was gentle and kind but
They were wicked and mean
I was straight and truthful but
They were cunning and deceptive
But look at me now..
OLUWADAMILARE

I have been abused and harassed but now
OLUWADAMILARE
I have said things, done things unacceptable but now
OLUWADAMILARE
This is me that have bitterly wept but now
OLUWADAMILARE
I have made mistakes
I have been refused love and forgiveness severally but now
OLUWADAMILARE
My life has been a mixture but at last
OLUWADAMILARE

Now I am a full grown woman
Very confident and hardworking
A young girl whose life seems wrong back then
Whose hope seems frail
Whose future seems broken and empty
Here I am above all the complications
Above all my foolishness and difficulties
OLUWADAMILARE
It’s not about my wisdom
What I get is a pure divine favor
Mercy, love, and divine intervention
It’s far beyond my comprehension
OLUWADAMILARE
(GOD VINDICATED ME)

Valentine loneliness

Across the table he sits alone
Gulping his wine as if running a race
Staring into the very empty space
Leaving people to ponder what
Is coming from the space
With a feeling of jittery and dissatisfaction
Love have dumped him in the cold
No one to love and hold
Very pathetic the story she told
She’s gone with a man that can spend
Oh, its true big girls don’t send
Only bills they care to offset
They run when there is nothing to get
So sorry, but you couldn’t meet the target
She has to go get the better
Valentine comes only once in a year
She couldn’t afford to spend the day with a yell
She will be back when your seeds yield
But too fragile to help you tilt the field
Don’t let this kill your spirit
when money come, love will be right
valentine will be sweet and tight
she will be steady and ready
when the soup becomes sweety and meaty
she will be loving and caring
unable to live without your cuddling
but today you are alone in this your thinking

SWEET VENGEANCE

Today, you will go tell your peers
That never will you pierce
Today, I am ease of my own pain
So happy, I have given you the gain
Tell them your evil deal
I have brought you the evil meal
I know you always feel brave
But never in this grave
The deceptive kisses you gave
Couldn’t even save
Nor help your freely oozing out blood
Even this knife feel fulfilled
For the privilege to suck your wicked blood
Nothing can be more fulfilling
Than seeing this gory end
Right in the palms of my hand
Nothing as sweet as this sweet vengeance
I am sorry you couldn’t live to witness
The entire story told the world about your mess
But I hope you tell the unborn
That you meet on your way home
That it gets bloody, so bloody
When you toy with a blackened heart
