I HAVE KNOWN GIRLS



I have known girls from the hood
Like the back of  my palms.
Short and tall girls with bowl legs,
Skimpy and calm girls with pink lips.
Those that have fears and those that
have no fear in their eyes for men.

I have seen girl from the hood
Like I see my nakedness at morn.
Hot girls and cold girls I have known
Those that kill men, those we tickled
and they laughed away their life in joy.
These girls made us who we are.

I have dated girls from the hood
Those that have steps to every beat,
Atilogwo, bata, Gelede, and bolojo.
I have known girls and their nagging lips,
Sending the beat of madness into the
Memories of teenagers in the abyss of grave.

I have kissed girls from the hood,
Black and pink lips girls from the hood.
When you see the images of those honeyed
Damsels, they make men shy away
From their beautiful sinful faces.

Girls are sweet sin in the eyes of men.
I have known girls of lust and shame,
Those that wake up with stretch mark
On the corner of their lips and those with no fault,
Those that are wife material and those that are not,
Those that beat men and those that love men;
I have known girls from the hood.

AYOOLA!

Ayoola . Our love is like the moral of “Alujanjankijan” Where those who took heed never lost So if we aim for love, let us aim for trust And let us be not "Laipo" and the people of Ibadan. . Jowo Ayoola — I've thread the path of our feelings Seeking for pedigree in the land of Ajoji I've longed for you in the market of Onikolobo Where your wears are dyed with the shades of indigo . 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...
