AND MONDAY CAME AGAIN

He came with a gladdened face to bless. Human activities were at its mighty pace, Those going to work danced and sang along, The children saddened their face on uniform, Workers hurried here and there for taxi, Market women shouted and screamed for their wares It was like a beehive, like an anthill. The traffic built up like a tower of Babylon, Teachers shirts perfectly starched to march. The breeze swelled and swung here and there, The birds came out in millions to see a new day. And the sun came with a beautiful yellow face, You could see the glittering of the glass houses Telling the earth how glorious she has been to it. You could cuddle a friend today and lose him on Tuesday, You could gain a deceitful power and lose it to a woman. And Monday came again with a trouble to trouble minds Many hated that he arrived with many chores and obligations. A game so precious to hunt and cry for amidst the unknown, It could only be him that can tell of his brother, Tuesday. © John Vincent Artistry For: Film Republic Pictures.

Ayoola — The night you stayed, holding my arms The moon beamed and a poem paired my heart And Eye-Orin gladdened with the love we fond And sang of us in her thousand songs. . Ayoola — If my love for you was any exceptional The trees would line up to enchant your smile And I will send pumpkins just for you to know That for you I could thread on the path of Olu-igbo . Ayoola — You're beautiful than any other thing You're glamorous than the charms of Egbin For when you winked in the city of Jos Your beauty was seen in the town of Oke-Odan. . Ayoola — It is h...

My Christmas rant

Christmas The reflection of the life of the saviour What do we savour? A subconscious trend to celebrate Merry and have fun! Like an hereditary disposition With the instinctive drive to enjoy the season It becomes just another festival When its purpose becomes trivial With little advocacy for pious living And reprieve for the weak The world is filled with negative vibes A conflagration of irrational acts Wickedness in high places War and strife Every 52 weeks, Christ celebrations comes... After the buzz hostilities resume Why the hypocrisy? Our world is ruled by thieves and despots Criminals in big places Scammers of the word Scammers in the world They hold our freewill With starvation and famine For whence comes the talk an empty stomach cannot agitate Why do we jubilate the birth Of this man Whose ideologies negate what we do? I won't be part of this hypocrisy Where our hearts are filthy Our country's burning sun nothing but a shadow Gnawed by a...
