Charity

Charity begins at home 
So says the old adage
But to most folks
Charity begins abroad 
And neglect 
to take care 
of their home
Much pressure 
By the need in life 
Neccesity in life 
As the mother of invention 
Barely repairs damage 
Which has been done
To the factual outcome 
If charity fails to 
begin at home
Wickedness may share
The same apparel 
With it
So be a charity at home

The moment you believe it

The moment you believe it
An opening elsewhere 
Is fabricated by those 
Gigantic leaps of faith
And confession
It always does 
Never ceases to open
For every positive motive
There is a positive word
And a positive result 
Both substances 
On two ends
Much 
Collide
For wondrous outcome 
So rejoice 
The moment 
You believe 

When you say.....

When you say
It cant be better than you think
Then I tell You it cannot be 
Better for you
Or than you think 
We reap wages of sin
When we commit 
The greatest sin 
A doubt of the human dignity 
Never doubt 
Your personality
Is more than you think 

Good conscience

Good conscience 
Is the true price
And most holy
Trumpet 
Of universal freedom 
Freedom is holy
It does not flow
To unrighteousness
To undignified cause
But around good conscience 
The true price of true liberties 
Dont deny good conscience 
If you desire to be freed

Unbundle Summit

Unbundle your impossibility
Before it unbundles you
Unbundle your challenge 
Before it unbundles you 
Reckless errands 
Turn stale 
Beautiful spring
Of a glorious dawn 
Learn to use
Time effectively 
Well targeted 
At your impossibility 
Hence unbundle them
Before 
They unbundle you
That is your unbundle Summit 

Perseverance is the key

We cushion 
Every 
Regret 
With 
Every palate
Of prospective 
Ambition 
When the first 
Fails 
If your logic
Hardly carries it
Boycot it
And settle 
For the next
Wave
Of ambition 
We may get nowhere 
If every upset
Causes the
Dreamer
To surrender 
Precious ambition 
Perseverance is the key
Maintain it

Fight

If you fight with bare hands 
You would face the consequences 
If you do with matchete brandished 
So shall you bear it and face the music
Never stop to fight 
When the strugglings of mankind 
Barely ends 
Fight always 
Even with your body language 
To gravitate everlasting peace 
To your door step

Believe yourself

Belief in others 
Believe in your self
And we have so many 
Fake disciples 
Who hardly believe 
Themselves 
And faking belief 
In others 
First to believe 
In yourself 
Student belief 
In others 
Might decline
Verily speaking 
Driven by soft passion 
Rather than hard passion 
Then believe yourself 
First
For out of it
Are the issues 
Of beautiful 
Spring 

Feed Your enemies?

We have plenty of food
To eat
And one day
My visit to the belicose grind
Unsettled my medula
Cross of hungry wolves
Cry of hungry wolves 
Who will help them?
Practically none 
Then I took the honour
What?
The honour of
Feeding ingrates
A friend had retorted
They dont like you
Do you feed your enemy?
What do you need?
They said your head
We shall kill you
And he runs
After feeding them

Be not desperate

Be no desperate 
For help nor success 
From the neighbour of yours
Who have what you need 
In abundance 
But will never help 
You
Even when you re not 
Desperate 
He hates your existence 
So try to be moderate.

Use common sense

Use common sense
As plenipotentiary 
of the horse sense 
Use common sense 
Always 
Use common sense 
Your saviour of the material 
And eternal life

Thank your stars

Thank your stars 
And your head 
When you re succesful 
Even when you re down
Agitate same
Do not decline 

Point of correction

Point of correction 
Is valuable 
When you make
A mistake 
A grievous
Mistake 
Then the point 
Appreciates 
In value
How come 
Mistakes 
Are valuable?
Why?
Take the knowledge 
Learn
And move on

Bully your challenge

Bully your challenge 
Not fellow humans 
Spare not it and bully it down
Can you afford it?
I think folks 
Bully not
Wrong headed 
Folks
But 
Nincompoop
Of yourself 
Bully yourself 
To achieve 
Better personality 
Hence bully
Your spirit 
Bully your challenge 
Not fellow humans 
And alienate 
Forever 
Terror
In modern society 
Forever 
So bully 
Your challenges 

Shout

Sing above your voice
Never let any one block you 
It may not be too long 
The treat and rest of the world 
Will remember you 
When they hear 
Your golden voice
Missing point in peasant region
Shout if possible shout 
Shout!
O boy 
Shout!

A Palm tree

He hurls down the palm tree
With the grand wield 
Of impenitent matchete
To butch specie 
For food and commerce
Palm trees are 
natural wealth device
Oriented
For variegated purpose 
Be a palm 
Tree
Blessed home
Am a palm tree 
Am a palm tree
O my palm tree 
Am Blessed home.

Riches or penury

Good conscience 
Brings everlasting peace 
But maybe sometimes 
In a full lifetime 
 ruined by mass penury
Tell me what pays
Riches or penury?
Then I choose riches

Use common sense

Use common sense
As plenipotentiary 
of the horse sense 
Use common sense 
Always 
Use common sense 
Your saviour of the material 
And eternal life

Never sigh

Never sigh when least satisfied 
Never sigh when regret barely forefeits you
Never sigh when pyrhic victory never earned
Never sigh when disappointment barely vanishes
Never sigh when your feature is clueless and unprofitable 
But I sigh someday when opulence dat on my bed and Never leave 
My eternal brother 

Health is wealth

As they say
Health is wealth 
 health o is wealth 
I am healed by the
Word of my mouth 
To affirm 
Health is wealth 
Pain departs 
From my bowel
I am healed 
I am healed 
I am healed 
I am healed 
Health dawn on me
Indeed health is wealth

Unknown lands

Sail beyond the unknown lands
We clamour of those clamour 
That none ever unravel 
Yet no one ever spoke 
So confidently and neither 
Go berserk nor befuddled 
At the call for introspection 

There's no graveyard

There's no graveyard 
To the immortal souls
The acme of the impossible 
The joke of eternity 
The unseen folks 
That never return 
Now our blather
But the world of the living 
To repel the growing graveyard 
My siblings 
Skipped this Earth's blustering nightmare 
To live forever 
Not by antecedence 
But by predestination 
And apocalypse 
May not decipher 

Am an immortal

My thinking tent my thinking cap 
My eternal home beyond grateful graveyard 
Surmounted 
Thereof my unbroken bones 
Liveth forever 
Am an immortal 
Beyond words and actions 
Beyond dreams and ambition 
Ambassador of eternity
 in the fleeting earth
Am an immortal 
Am an immortal 

Beautiful spring

Laundering seasons call for beautiful spring masqueraded as untarnished beautiful roses at the tryst of shuddering distance 

Spheres of Influence

Spheres of influence barely grow dim
Where discounts are never given to dreary weather to sewer the perpetual nature of this glorious influence 

Still I shine

Still I rise by Maya Angelou inspired this poem


You may write me off in your closet
With your calumny and diatribes 
You may treat me down in your very traduce
And still like Venus I'll overheats the momentum 
I shine 
Still I shine 
Does my sauciness belch your outrage 
Why are you impounded with doomsday?
Tis my gigantic leap your nebula beyond the golden valleys 
Still limping in your mottled ass and Achilles heels 
Just like morons and buffoons in their meagre mires
With the certainty of their immaculate nebula 
Just like waning tides of the beautiful springs 
Still I overheats like Venus 
Did you goof in your wildest ass and macabre humor?
Malignant head and malignant feet
Dropped shoulders with cringing navel
Dreary weakneed grimacing over forlorn sooth
Does my unruly cheeks with the grimdeath of the machismo draw your disconsolate ire?
Tis thy gold mine in the nocturnal strike forlorn amiss
Your beautiful orchards with striking apple and grapevine turns stale
Dreary eyes blistering hardly cut down 
The beautiful orchards 
Where the avarice fell off his crimson 
And tides and metaphors with quirky cannon balls 
Decelerate haughty moist in your denigration of beautiful vines
Still like Venus I overheats 
I shine 
Does my momentum seems to bother?
Does my unruly dreams ever shoot down your glowing sky?
That laughs maybe bellyaching than mere belly laughed 
At the meeting of sordid cheeks
Coast home upon the waning tides of checkered antecedence 
I overheat
I shine 
Am a blackamoor beyond the nebulous nebula of prostrating negritude 
Swollen feet bred and bears the fangs of freedom 
Not allay driven to the allusion of broken reeds
Leaving behind thighs of scented serfdom and terrifying ghosts 
Like Venus I overheats 
Momentum barely fails me
As if like from the sorcerer's stoop
I overheat
I shine 
Beyond the beautiful roses 
Beyond the beautiful spring 
I shine 
I shine 
I shine 
Still I shine 







Shall I compare thee to a beautiful spring?

Shall I compare thee to a beautiful spring?
Thou art intemperate than the foxes are
Unruly beasts nudging the forest floors 
And the spring bed for the spring time hath all too benign to kiss
Sometimes too hot like Venus to plaid craft with Machiavelli or like Zoroaster 
And often gold plated reeks undimmed 
Froth over fair mound for unfair roses.
Moonstruck,bats in the belfry, unglued ,unhinged,unzipped,screwloose,fruitcake nutties,mad as a hatter,cracked heels,barmies,bonkers, delirious flakes, erratic freaked outs,flippies out of their trees, dingiest,dippies,kookies ,potty screwballs, out -to -lunches,cuckoo-psychos, berserk apes and wackies marooned in wacky winces
O mad as a march hares !
Dancing kookies jeered at the moult for beautiful spring 
Nope blather to baa and maa, whine and bluster fuss,
Nor alacrity to gripe 
Swung ebb tides in skullduggery, monkey business song and dance,drunk machinations flew like a pawn of rainbow 
Egregious mafiosi and unruly machomen
Hail where the golden lions surmount their golden stars for the golden hills 
Old greybeard's gongs had melodies 
To crease wanton clamours for the beautiful spring.
Whom shall we compare to the beautiful spring
So our shoal and creel amplified may garner the beautiful spring a repertoire of beautiful  roses?
Old greybeard thereof sobbed greedily 
Where pledged sinew from golden lions outmarched evasive mockery 









Sing your freedom

Hail sing your freedom in joyous times 
Hail sing your freedom in grievous time 
The mouth of freedom bring you freedom 
Your power is confession 
Be consistent 

Sing Always

Sing when you re in grief and distress
Sing when you re down and sing when 
The mood is joyous 
Thou shalt sing always to acclimatise
To the boredom of singing girth in appalling times
The mind who get used to songs in sunny times and bleary time
Stay above the munchings of appalling times 
Beneath this disdain of muse,grief barely vanishes 
Able to swallow he or she in the bleary time 
Therefore sing always

Favorite

Favorite is always the favorite 
Favorite is always the favorite 
Favorite is always the favorite 
Favorite is always the favorite 
Favorite is always the favorite 

An Ode To my Pyrhic Victory

Thou still not your throat to thrive 
With pyrhic Victory 
Thou showeth not compunction 
To the melodies of silence 
That hewn thee to the applause of my ode
Striving for gallantry in the mother's womb 
A flowery tales of fabled roses intered 
In the plummet of hazy clouds 
Thy mates are funfares with the golden stars
Bounteous heralds of symphonies and vicissitudes slaughtered at their heels
Hark and hail:
Unknown melodies sunk in your nesciency 
Are much more glorious than heard melodies 
On the perch of eternities,they re much sweeter than golden roses are
Not the olfactory lobes to make sensual to endearment 
But to the infinity of the cosmos as loop for endless symphonies 
And to the supermen who live to hibernate thereof
It is an endless glamour shots that I wish eternity In the mortal's bone
Fair spirit above the grand canyon thou canst not quench
Beneath the woods and above the woods 
Songs and songs of the golden eternities 
Thrilled ad infinitum 
The golden stars in their golden hills and valleys that cannot fade at the slaughter houses of time and seasons 
Rejoice happy boughs not for the beautiful spring adieu
Masqueraded in thumping sate of the fugacious debris 
To those sapping bones at the green altars beneath a jaundice but haunted mysterious priest 
Where silken flanks with garland drest lowering heifer from the immaculate skies
From the seashore to the mountain built golden citadels 
Not the desolate arts with attic shape yet with unfair attitude 
But the pious morn with forest branches, beautiful petals and chirping birds and trodden weeds over cold pastoral
 hunting dogs in the backwoods for the fortunate knights 
To know the earth is beautiful and wedded to beautiful spring 
And antecedence is the key to unlock those milestones
 intered in the sand dunes and bowels of the thrilling earth 
Sing my ode to the joy of pyrhic Victory 
Not this sting and time with the pyrates of dreams 
But the immaculate knighterrants 
Pinions upon horses 
Bountiful well wishers of the golden hills 
Smash hit bursters on the arenacious melange triumph yonder shores

A Sorcerer's Anecdote

I met a witch a sorcerer from my antique city "Ogbomosho"
Shortly after school I visited grandma and the witch in minstrelsy like and poetic undertones 
Who soothsay my glorious posterity 
To the dancing words of eulogy 
Reveled in the prognosis like chewing gum in her scary mouth 
As she says:
"Ibikunle's compound is greater than any one I Ve seen elsewhere 
Ibikunle's compound is greater than any one I Ve seen elsewhere "
Then it took three decades in Lagos 
To transpire and still counting 
What a grotesque and a grisly scary!

Kiss your morn

Kiss your morn 
With a vow
To rise 
Above pettiness 
Kiss your golden morn 
With a vow 
To break the jinx
And shoot to the sky 
Kiss your morn
With a vow 
And lo kick the ball
The golden balls of the unprecedented 
And shoot away 
And glide away
 with the stars

Choice to shine

Every moment an opportunity 
To shine 
Every moment an opportunity 
To fail
Make a choice 
With what you desire 
The former is my choice 

Pyrhic Victory

To be successful trial 
Is your university 
When you graduate 
The school authority 
Will give you a garland 
And a wreath if profound 
What do they call it
"Victory"
Or as they say 
If heavily fought for 
"Pyrhic Victory"

Beautiful smiles

Beautiful smiles with artful optimism 
Suggest indication of beautiful spring 
Afar 
There after it was fun running from the repugnant mess of golden valleys 

Complex folks

Complex task for complex folks
Menial tasks for menial folks
If you change this law chaos stakes the realm 
And take over the city and we lament
Of decay in every sector in every season 
Remember 
Complex task for complex folks
Menial tasks for menial folks
Plead thee do not offend nature 
And make chaos our everlasting primogeniture 
Indeed complex task for complex folks 

Ravishings

Sweet roses, ravishing daffodils 
Beautiful petals and birds on those stalks
Chirping beautiful songs tell the most beautiful story of a lifetime 

Sweet Little Sixteen

I think at 16 to 17 years
I almost fell in love 
With a girl talk lanky 
Seductress with all her
Leggy and ravishing beauty
Smote my senses off my hood
It was like I was successful with her
Whereas I was not
Perhaps due to dread of simple machine 
Engagement engagement engagement 
What is engagement?
Death wish or something?
Nope
You know what am saying guys?
Just simple hello,I,I love you,"
Which I fail to say
Then the core engagement 
Talk talk talk talk talk talk talk 
It just didn't flow
Even thereafter in Lagos 
It just didn't work out
Due to lack of money 
Greedy for women 
Lack of targeted choice 
And the time switched away 
In endless streams y

Fugitive land

Every passing day is a learning curve 
He who learns them graduate every passing day.The university of fugacity keep close scrutiny on the fugitives in her kits and every man in the radar of time is a fugitive regardless of status and race and he who wins and graduate returns home with rewards for time pays no rewards to a fugitive.many die a bastard and a fugitive of time.He goes into wind farm that is struggling fields and dies there with no rewards and if there's a rewards and he not a fugitive and return time houses he or she in country house.Therefore be a learner so you can return home from fugitive land

Hands of time

You can never beat the hands of time 
Just be careful to you use your time well
We are not always accurate but whatever you get try to stay wealthy and your sacrifice would never fail but not clueless sacrifice please take care of yourself and stay out of trouble.

My Father's anecdotes

My father had taught many things 
Before we knew it and before we
Could say jack to realize the immortal 
Benefits of those folk leanings 
From the family's beautiful folktales
And radiant anecdotes we were already 
Grown up.
From his travels around the world 
Who narrated his memoirs in visiting 
Every country in Europe 
Down to visiting West African countries 
By this time we were old enough to follow him
To the crash of family silver and the great migration to Lagos 
And three decades thereafter we hit boom
Again and wealth returned into the family
Now in a big way
As we revived the family and we became globetrotters and travelled every country of the world beyond father's traverse.
Had I not seen the dream the voice of ancient man who spoke "
Kunle barely return home okay ;for you and your are globetrotters"
Waow !
I was shocked though not surprised when it happens.

Good Day

Every day is a good day
Depending on how you view it
If you think is a bad day
Change it with positive mindset 
For positive confession 
Beyond this sacrifice 
Every day is a good day
Often times 
A good day 
For the elfin tailor
The tailor or the seamstress 
Fabricate jackets or 
Apparels with ease
Every day is a good day 
For the entrepreneur 
For the artisan 
Even for the prentice
Almost every one trades 
Yearning for the rewards
Of a laborious toil
Aiming for the neplulstra 
Even for the slave
Hoping someday 
That freedom is guaranteed

Listening

I am amazed at a poet Eamon Grenan
As if asleep in his work 
Queried a common dog and he says 
"I am watching Cleo our dog listening to Mozart 's Magic flute "
Then she asked"What can she be hearing?"
This sounds little rage
I Ve done writing why animal keep silence 
And are good at that silence mongering 
Why do animals Keep or how do they hear?"
Of course plants and animals by nature 
Are the true libraries of the universe 
They with the space hold infinite revelry of eternal information exchange 
The birds sends information to the heavens
The spirit of the dead returns into the bush
When mortal died and at the point of hearing unknown to mankind like Grenan
His grenade launched tepid lust for unknown numbers
And certainly the numbers holds the fortress of facts
Lion in the atavistic era of simple life forms
Was a human being that matures
Into a God of the universe 
If indeed God exists 
Practically every species and plants 
Store these sacred information 
By listening and barely dislodge silence 
From the repugnant logos 
He stores information 
By mere listening 

Open

Open your arts to accommodate
freedom from the remotest corner 
Of the golden hills 

Welcome

Welcome to your glory 
If your faith is enigma 
How do you know such axiom?
Tell me
Silence in the midst of tribulation 
Long suffering the true ghost of love

Needy

Help the needy help the poor 
Sometimes it will return back to you 
A gasping overwhelm of hundred folds

Long Haiku

Good memories seal mouth agape 
The wonderful rhythm of a goleador

Audacious frost

Does trusting little green leaves
Ever requires 
An audacious frost on a rendezvous 
Of one or two specks 
For a sedate folk or evergreen youth?



A flinch of vivid red flaunching 
Patch
Amidst the torpedoes of 🌞 sun's tremulous quivers
And gravy dust
Overwhelmed 
By little race run
Over little tepid pool 
Drown inward and outward 
With winds tossing the lilacs
Laughing leaves mocking the sun
Not cremated beneath apple blossom 
Of a wintry way
Bemused above shining queers



Accolades

Accolades witness the golden stars 
Enmasse the golden hills annexed
By the feet of the gods to visit the city of gold 
We cannot rejoice more than our applause 
The spirit of accolades can take to places 
Glues of golden hills in the worship of golden roses 
Give it to accolades without with it cannot be possible 

Who is Chaos?

Mother nature 's first spring 
Is silence
The family silver of ontology 
Then he plants peace 
In the green field of silence 
Then the weird sisters
Someday when they emerge
Planted violence,chaos
Who are the weird sisters?
Faith, probability and fate
Who coronate who?
Fate the king of existence 
Reign over this silence 
Division among them 
Born chaos
Chaos what is chaos?

Wealthy sacrifice

Wonderful sacrifice blessed by grace 
Is the best investment in a lifetime.
It brings fortune faster than the speed of sound and the speed of light combined.

Serve others and receive their blessings and curses
When blessings mature it brings curses 
When curses mature it brings blessings
When blessings mature it brings fortune faster than the speed of thoughts.
Sacrifice is the key and above all things 
Be in good health for a wealthy sacrifice 

Life

Our life is like
A beautiful rose
In the sky 

Long Haiku

Good good good good good good
Good good good good good good 

My Mother's Applause

My mother's applause 
Often times glamorous 
Upon my head
She pours me encomium 
Tells me
Your eyes are like 
Shrimps full of shrimps"
Dad had cautioned 
Countless times 
And it was so overwhelming 
At her nuance
That she had to stop 
That shrimps in my face
Means to afford folks
Beautiful things to eat
Never tire of beautiful spring 
Wealth and prosperity 

Never Neglect Competence

I can not neglect beautiful privileges
But to negotiate beautiful privileges in 
Beautiful springs requires competences
Dating over mileages and period of investment on competences.
Grow your competence as the best sacrifice to open up highly competitive market 
Do not complain opportunity comes but once
You will differentiate your self 
Never neglect competence 

Haiku

The rewards of a lifetime 
Is in the lifetime of sacrifice 

Long Haiku

Moment of truth I say moment of truth 
Moment of truth is the best period in a lifetime 

Haiku

Grace by law kills grace by faith
Favor by law kills favor by faith 

Haiku

Things change faster 
When you believe faster

Two men clash over ego

Moment by moment fly in your obscurity 
Yes they fly by and you never know 
It's like a dashing wings of wind 
That you can't really hold them
So despicable and detestable 
Yet you see it and abide by it.
Two men clashes over their ego.
"What can you do to change?
Change nature or do what?
Yeah change your self
Change myself?
Like seriously 
Yes please 
Do what?
Your self

Have you done so?
Me to change what?
You change your self first before you change others
I Ve nothing bad to change 
I mean your work of transformation 
Stop robbery, manslaughter,lies, perversion etcetera 
Oh you mean that?
But it takes you two decades to handle 
Give me time "
To change habbit 
It takes time 
And to hone new one
It takes time 
Even much more time 
Remember 
Without character 
Nothing like success 
Is possible 

Pure Gold!

My younger brother had incomprehensible 
labouring powers who believed without your hardwork you barely make it in life.
He was cute,smart in the native way and innately generous but also unpredictable in the way he animate his gesture for vivacious engagement . Unlike me according to my creed you win in life by smart work and it was more like an unspoken contest in the family in the context of metallic body language's metalanguages .The semantics could say nope as he attracted all the accolades and eurogy and of my kind diatribes and cacophonies.To recall the golden words of a wise writer at a local cybercafe had cautioned my exuberance "If you re going to be a writer in this country you re likely going to go hungry but you could be immortalized forever "It struck like a cord ever since but the magic wand was nurtured moving with like minds and my few friends were lovers of literature and we discussed it and live it.My two brothers had lot of menial accolades working the whole enchilada of Lagos.Eldest brother gbolahan had gone overseas a composer and a symphony of global repute.We embraced the same logic but at loggerheads in unison unlike my closeness to my younger brother.Three decades in the languishing stocks of Lagos slums finally I was courted with greater accolades and I was gobsmacked at the level of my ideology when the overwhelming crowd of jeers,boos and applause sang and thumped my applause.Myriad of genealogies fell into this humor.Be a smart worker and not a labourer.Apparently it wasn't too late for my brothers to accede to my request and those fatalists with this strange mindset are in the majority.You cannot change people's mindset unless they re determined to and unless you shoot to the sky and show them otherwise.Those who fail to change their mindset probably never had a good role model and that is final.Human beings are much moved by realities than idealism but if any spectacular idealism comes around proven by tested logic and proven empiricism I think they fall flat.Pure gold!

Use Your Memory

Childhood memoirs so unique 
A blend of hidden fortune and hidden trauma 
That later evolution of the concerned human person 


Sometimes might not get over it 


Shallowed trauma can be life threatening 
Holistic bliss therein could outlive those memoirs 


Sometimes could be the standpoint of sunny times 

That if a trauma draws you back in the early years might be the turning point of a later years.
Anyways old age lives on memory

At the penning of this poem early morning 
I did hear a lass telling a toddler girl 
"Why did you drown the soap in the water?"

Empiricism! empiricism!!

The older the age the more empiricism grows,the best homily to the animal spirit 


Wouldn't she have made that mistake had she being a little bit younger?
Wouldn't she have drench the soap like the crazy toddler?



Empiricism plus infinity , empiricism galore,action plus knowledge empiricism grows .


As the thread of golden memoirs harvest the commonsenses,in the cascading consignment of action at sea less breach of duty perspires

Those not able to recall this wonderful memoir are bound and doomed so to say crash into the impuissant rock of ignorance 


Ignorance is a plague


As mortals grow older the mnemonics slow down but not so to consumers of nemnonics .


The exact implications could be dire but we could not skid it so glaring in the golden morn of those who sing and those who weep.

That if a man is so intelligent it doesn't guarantee ultimate triumphs in life but it does matter


So use your memory use your thinking cap













Times and seasons

Times and seasons wait for no one
Your fleeting life kith and kins of times
and seasons 
wait not even for the owner of life
Opportunities often times do not return 
Once again when they re lost in the embroidery of squandered time
The use of time is a better asset 
For the consumer and user of that time 
Not even the user,the luxury or impact derived 
Not even accolades and diatribes euphony and cacophony 
As the sting of grief vanishes for the bliss of stardom 
So to remember that this beautiful bequest 
Is the endowment paid for by the dancing euphoria of fleeting times and seasons.

Belong

When you re much learned 
Grown up in the appreciable mass
Of learning curve and learned curve 
You have to climb the mountain 
Leave the valley 
And ride bikes with the big old boys
By then you re starting to belong

Rewards

The rewards of a lifetime 
Might not be immediate
 But a painstaking process 
That evolution of time 
Patience and sacrifices 
Sown over considerable 
Period of time 
As the case maybe 
When add up in the grand finale 
Beyond the grand canyon 
From the University of adversity 
Into the University of prosperity 
The rewards shall surely 
Be earned in the 
Most unpredictable and sometimes 
Unproductive and unpremeditated 
Channels 



Gunsmithing

The fight in my school
We call it kungful
I didn't stop until I graduated 
From primary school 
I kept beating my mates
I was the best in martial artist 
And every film we watched
From Bruce Lee, charlie chaplain 
Down to jentli and Jackie Chan 
We experimented them 
Until my junior secondary 
Fine arts had dominated though my best was in primary four and five and six 
I once drew my teacher's portrait 
Had declined prior to exit of junior secondary school 
Three things abide
From judo,to fine arts down to immense mastery of dictionary 
A budding lexicographer and later shaped by Shakespeare and wole Soyinka 
In the later years 
First nover at about 12 years
Then a colosus in Lagos 
In the art of punsmithing 
My true gunsmithing 
Deployed three million vocabularies 
In my gunsmithing of words and phrases 
An obscurantist in his own right
Soyinka my forerunner 

Memory

Object captured in your brain 
Cannot be ommitted 
Can never be ommitted 
Truly speaking 
It can never be erased 
Especially in the leanings
And mould of fast learning kid
Use memory 
Recall things
Both in theatrics and practice 

Honest folks

Do you think truth lies only in you
And some other forces?
You never can tell 
I think it lies
Only in you 
It will take time 
For you realize it 
And then they might 
Show it
In the course of events
Blessed is the man
Who is surrounded 
By honest folks
When we 
Lack this people 
Around us 
Life is not wasted

Take Empiricism

Those who know the way 
To the garden of opulence 
Follow them
Those who know the way 
To the valley of poverty 
Follow them 
Take empiricism 
And compare them
Then retrace your self 
Retreat and return 
To the better one
Better garden 
Which one is the better garden?
Ask yourself and answer it

Be Diligent Always

Be diligent at your work 
When it is not profitable to do so
Be diligent at your work 
When it profitable to do so
Be diligent at your work 
When there is dignity 
Be diligent at your work 
When there's no dignity 
Be diligent at your work 
When there's no affront 
Be diligent at your work 
When there is serious affront 
Be diligent at your work 
When there's no humility 
Be diligent at your work 
When there is serious arrogance flying around you 
Be diligent at your work 
Where there is no stress 
Be diligent at your work 
When there's serious distress
Be diligent at your work 
When there's no grief and despair
Be diligent at your work 
When there's grief and despair 
Be diligent at your work 
Where there is no skill and competence 
Be diligent at your work 
When there's skills and competence 
Be diligent at all time
It is the best sacrifice 
And best price of freedom 
Yet when you re slave therein
Victory surely knock at your door
For out of its abundance 
Are the critical issues of life.
Be diligent always 

Attraction

Attraction is the key
Nothing in you
The world hates you
I think I was fourteen 
I rode my inherited brother's bicycles
To school
They left home to school 
And gained admission 
Into varsities and academy 
Then I was lonely in their inherited room
As the fourth child 
In the family 
I had two bicycles 
All to myself 
And a large room
With two empty beds
I could have been 
A womaniser
And would have had 
My babies much earlier
A privilege that many
Who did
Think 
Those who failed 
To do same
Are nothing but irresponsible jerks
Still I keep wondering 
That lately 
The room was empty
Then late daddy 
Relocated factory to Lagos 
Infact my only sister 
As third sibling in the family 
Had relocated much earlier 
Before the two guys 
Stayed with our uncle in festac
More or less like a house girl 
Cleaning and taking care 
Of uncle's wife
Then my last brother last born 
Had three beds in the larger room
To himself too
And it was difficult to enjoy them
Then we both took the advantage
That we never really
Do
Cousins came along 
And we chat upstairs 
But I choose because 
I enjoy the luxury 
Of riding bike to school 
More than anything 
I think my brother 
Rode the second one too
Rayleigh 
While I rode better one 
Nicknamed Benz
My friends flocked to me
Because of this attraction
Particularly one ferocious 
One called adeoye
Wouldn't leave my said 
And we rode back home 
Almost every day 
It was the only attraction 
He saw
Not me as the prefect of student hooligans 
In my school 
And also a leading student 
In English language 
Give mathematics to my second brother 
Sunday
And then I recalled
Was there no attraction in my life
than the bicycle?
I realized it was true
No one loved you 
Unless they could get benefits 
From you 
Practically none
And it was truly evident
When daddy's soft drink factory 
Crashed
We were booed silently 
I saw the body body language 
As semantics 
I could decode the metalanguages 
It was real
People are after attraction 
Not you
Yourself is fake
If there's no attraction 
Nobody loves you 
If not for attraction 
In most cases money 
I said money 
Or exploitation 
Either to exploit you 
For money 
Or pack or collect money 


Gangsters

Count me out of evil
Gangsters stole the streets 
Stole the money and mobiles
Stole the cars and luxuries 
Burgled houses and stole money 
Bangles and necklaces 
Yet no one was caught 
Then the faithful minds
Who wished to be counted out
Subsequently attended their joint
To be restated but they refused
He wishes to be counted of the pyrates
Then when they rake in fortune of lifetime 
The misfortune of lifetime seeks earnestly 
To woo faceless pyrates for the authority 
No righteous man ever exist 
He fails not the bad name test
But the good name test

Shallom Poetry

If I read him correctly does he know 
The meaning of his poem apparently?
I think Tom Wayman a fellow poet
In the poem:The Poet posted online by the library of Congress 
Tom hardly decipher the power of his poetry 
And let me rephrase him to him and the public how a poet is born
No one ever write to reflect how nature
Produces from the fringes of stolen thought and deepest thought 
Here I make my rephrase from Tom's versification:
"If he looses his position on worksheet or page in textbook 
If he speaks much and makes little sense 
Jabber!
If he can not give clear verbal instructions 
If he doesn't understand what he reads 
If he doesn't understand what he hears
Chei!
If he cannot handle yes-no questions?
Habba!
If he has great difficulty in interpreting proverbs 
If  he has difficulty in recalling what he ate for breakfast etc
If he cannot tell a story from a picture 
What a abeyance?
If he cannot recognize visual absurdities 
Astigmatism?
Oh vista error right?
If he has difficulty in classifying and categorizing things?
If he has challenge retaining memories 
If he difficulty in retaining things such as
addition and substraction facts or multiplication tables 
"May recognize a word one and not the next "Tom says
May as well be a poet and this how a poet
Is made when memories are blocked and no words to utter
The next word you could remember is poetry
Thus he who undergo the above rephrases 
Determine how a poet is born and automatically a poet that distributes
Messages of hope and faith and set the shackled minds free
A poet is he the startling poet that
Sets free fellow men living in bondage
The true medicine of soul poetry
Heals preserves and cure 
With therapeautic clue
Then struggles withose rephrases 
To be a poet
A good at that 
And the world is healed
Shallom!

Action

To rage on every thick hurdles consider it unfortunate a fortune to bodly start your life time journey in grease of good temperature 
To try to stop where 
You boldly let off
Is try to destroy the golden temperature of the beautiful journey of a lifetime .
To stay in the midst of trial and hurdles without agitation and counter aggression 
Is to say the least the afflicted pervert is perpetually satisfied with his own position 
Be struck with the temperature when you shoot to the sky
To glam it up vamp it up that strikes for a better life 
To go distant places distraction does not belong to the afflicted in the affordability of the journey when no one else cares in the most reasonable time to the lowest revel of empathy 
Vacuous feet may wither across the dungeon of relentless hurdles and trials
The audacious element not for one even in the blinding and blinking of eyes ever do
To drive home their feet of gold in the gold mine and the city of gold
No mountain is movable unless you move it
Did you read my poem?
What do you think am saying?
So you can't summarize eat?
What is I mean the synopsis please?
Oh you mean ACTION right?
Good that's my boy 
You re graduated with immediate effect
Into your archipelago of dream
You true Dreamland 
So what is a Dreamland?
Action 
So with action
Keep Dreaming 

Honesty

Honest is the best policy 
I think Odetola in the car ride
With her popular daughter 
Dj Cuppy
Once asked her father about advice he could give to young entrepreneur 
Coming up in the rear
That what should they do to climb the ladder of greatness like him.
He retorted and commented 
And the daughter was shocked:
" Honesty is the best policy"
I was aghast too in my TikTok 
This is wonderful 
Just like that?
A glorious lifetime of fortunate bliss
Was summaries in one sentence 
Details in action 
And how do we honesty?
Think about 
Indeed honest is the best policy.

A lone walk of destiny

My brother kept the toil
In a stressful car wash 
Pictures of every street
Warranty of every family 
Gossips of every fiend
In his rusted portfolio of anger
I used to painfully watched my brother 
Frustratingly endure the persistent hurl
Of affront from the repugnant remarks of 
Those who pay him pittance to wash for them
My ears full of seething tearings tales 
My full books of reflection find no more  no more place to archive.
I spoke to him sometime to belch the thoughts to me
Though occasionally he did and he it was poison that spew out of his own mouth.
My mother never doubt twice to affirm the closeness between me and my brother that she told me we were meant to be everlasting heritage of the family heritage just like any other time.
Perhaps it was the only way she could help ensure that his brother's life was insured 
As if am by heavenly moisture warm them under the same court.
His experience offers invaluable service to the wedlock of human trust
And it is this trust that we make aspiration galore 
My brother lamented folks in the vicinity don't like me and cheaters and blackmailings backbitings are many about.
When the affront was unbelievable and he refused to quit,I had to intervene in the most appropriate time.
Pleadings to stop the business fell on deaf ears
Regardless of my entreaties to him to stop car washing he thought it was the only means of survival till the days of verdict.
Pleadings to him to survive on his learned friends seriously failed 
As long as he could survive he would survive 
Entreaty that he was a landlord fell in deaf 👂 ears.
And tenant fees at his hometown enough to feed him.
Our means and ways and vision to be rich always eulogized by me reason  he called me boastful and braggadocio of first class extraction 
One day wealth came and brother burst in tears 
Why didn't he get patience to listen to him 
He thought his brother was making mouth 
Yet he walk the road alone so all his brothers might dump menial work forever 
In the face of relentless abuses and cursed yet he cares
This life is a lonely walk of destiny 

Final Destination

Gold mine twerked gold mine into bay
Brush of the broom becomes the yellow smudge and two blue arms puzzled notch into one neatly curves and with eyes of the deer in my palms gallivanting over brown pair of shoes 
Where blossoming impatience of the circling toddler thrilled with the nipples of a sucking mother.
Porch swings and autumn times painstakingly crystallized golden valleys into golden hills whose annex is the city of gold the  prime destination of finally makind settlement

Know Your self

When you know where you came from 
When you recall your family 's name?
When you remind you of your status 
Then you think twice at what you do?
Remind yourself these things and you shall never put a foot wrong or amiss
Know your self 

My thrilling poetry

My poetry makes a thrilling poems
I often shuddered watching myself 
Reading them from afar or others 
Thrilled to watch me read or when do the reading themselves or chant me when they do
It is the power of words and the miracles of deliverance and appreciate 
When people appreciate what you do 
Then you begin to make impact.
A passerby at my abode early morning 
Today once noted passing by pleading to clients to show him clemency 
Then he said"Mankind are clothes unto themselves"

A Soyinka Version of Modern Shakespeare

My father uncovered my talent quite early 
And he put his holy curiosity and divine inspiration to work.Upon my arrival from school on a sunny day, putting his palms on the window pane,he commented "You re wole Soyinka.Dont go to science class". Apparently the comments came in handy as junior secondary school in succession bade cheerio into senior secondary school and it was fitting already nature of my design cannot be overturned and so I did choose the arts .I could not feign ignorance of his consciousness and sometimes when I recalled this climax of childhood memoirs it was as if my brook of nature was born to be solidified by the glorious moment once in the lifetime of every fortunate child .Jaws dropped in my silhouette and visages humbled as if fallen on the canvas shuffled like golden star through this wood of discretion as the hands of hunting birds diffused by a nebula of undimmed light.
Then another power of poetry and prose emerged and then new but Shakespearean version of wole Soyinka was born.Bravo!Then great relocation into Lagos fueled the golden thirst and the hunting grounds of beautiful anecdote of the truest Shakespearean sonneteer and modern Shakespeare of Africa and the world.

The Spring tide

I was stunned by the distinctive stones to make me aghast 
I do not see dead otter rotting that carried all day the scent if savage valediction but I was gobsmacked but living otter sparkling by the tidelines,That headlong spring high sound decibels for the wonderful morsel of oystercatcher rejoiced through the rocky alcove of rapturous elves as fed cormorant fed submarines at bay for a heron rose off an invincible boulder not pertinaciously perturbed to stand backyard a graph of longevity around clodded sky and clouded over lightning of ruffled waters.Your gloomy morning of dying dream that didn't matter turns into your glorious morn of accomplishment over volatile waters.Over wavy silky waters where butterflies jinked and novel roads to stardom uncovered where cigarette smoky,blue campered friends drank coffee and clogged with dints of neplulstra .Fresh coffee in thick dark smelled and blue scent of smoke for the breakfast coffee and sedate with radio telling frequencies and warm daily news that sparkling wined curiosity .Anyway rising waters of frequent waters bring the novel tidings of the spring tide 

The Bat Rephrase

If the bat is a distant cousin to the mouse
by every blessed day 
Why does he like the attic of a decrepit and aging house?


If his fingers make a hat about his head 
Why does his pulse beat him so low that we walk and think him dead?


If his loops hibernate in crazy figures half the night 
Why does he tilts among the trees that face the corner light?


Why does he brushes up against a thing like screen that we re afraid about the length of human vision and what eyes could have seen?

Then to re phrase Theodore Roethke 
Then something amiss out of place disjointed in plain observation 

As mice with wings wear a human observation and grit of tortoise wit
Shrewdly unveil the peculiar footprints back home

My Father's Accolades

Every Christmas we party with our family folks 
It was a memorable thing and we had lots to eat
And dressed to the nines and kit to the teeth
I was particularly ecstatic about my dad
All the finest clothes imported from the king's country 
To made us often times best dressed family in town 
A long tiring trip of envy and jealousy 
How did he manage to get beautiful clothes overseas ?
How did he manage to get his trip right to successfully 
Transport himself over British Caledonian flight of the roaring eighties and nineties?
The marvel a little child would never stop 
To marvel until the great relocation into Lagos.
Still baffled me till date and not so long
After my eldest brother travelled overseas 
I began to understand the arduous task of the Nigerian travellers.
The beautiful dreams of globetrotters and cosmopolitans in the land.
We became like the best clothiers in town
As mum also sold clothes 
And kids below our status at every blissful revel
every dressing times at events and ceremonies 
almost threw themselves at us worse case scenario at the parties just to get closer.
We sold soft drink everywhere a signature trademark of my father and his father's fame rose 
From Ogbomosho,to Ibadan, Lagos entire southwest down to west Africa 
The drinks were a house hold name and the then chairman of Nigerian flour Mills 
Offer to buy share in the soft drink company 
That was later crashed in the early nineties 
And when the family silver crashed all the accolades stopped 
And my father and family's arrays of ovation plummeted without trace on the map of affluence and influence.
Father's brother recklessly messed up sales in Lagos 
Wine and dine with salacious women 
Couple with fetish spell cast the demise was sure.
And eldest brother had travelled down to Lagos 
To Hussle like every por man's after he graduated from poly Ibadan.
Did family silver not crash still after it was relocated to Lagos?
Of course change of priority was responsible 
As Midland foods changed name and also to production of gilbey gin 
It was a colossal failure.
The poor man had no where to go to assuage his misery
And only the graveyard no doubt awaits him
But when the rich falls where do they go or who bail them out?
Nobody but nothing worse than death 
My father's accolades died when fortune died
The world is indeed evil
No one loves you
Until riches and glamour 
escort you at home 

Love

Love triumphs above all things 
No stormy tide ever overwhelm it
A man with love is not below
The rest of the pack
And out of this world 
And operate the frequency 
Of the universe 
Of the world of magic and sorcery 
Of impossibilities 
He gets things done easily
And perform uncommon feat
And barely experience pain
The only superman among mortals
The most innovative and most industrial arts
Who triumph above and resolve social problem 
The psychology of the golden age of human civilization 
Without with all infrastructure of better life is impossible 
Does it mean civilization that barely tolerate her 
Cannot last forever?
Of course it cannot last forever 
And anything it fails together 
Shall fail woefully together 
He who loves indeed 
Is the richest and wealthiest 
And healthiest man alive
For he holds no grudges 
No slander,no backbitings 
No prejudice to harm fellow my
No witch-hunts no sallow blackmail 
Why?
Because 
Loves endures multitude of sins 
And doubts and heals with caring souls
We should endeavor to love
And by love only we shall 
not only multiply but forever endures 

Beautiful Bride

We need beautiful bride
The joy of the spring
At every turn of the spring time 
The multitude of golden roses
Attains the bliss of benediction 
From the privileges of the endowed spring tide
And to those with beautiful bride
The joy of the spring tide 
As everlasting treasure 
Hardly knows no bounds.

A Pain free Heritage

No pain shall visit our abode
We plead thee Mother nature 
Bliss of blessings of good and mercy 
Pain shall not embarras our siblings
Our family tree nor brothers and sisters 
Agonise over such attack and the body ailments 
Redemption of eternity our everlasting heritage
A pain free heritage!
Shallom!

Victory emerges at last

Victory emerges at last

Eat Principles

Eat your words if you re wrong 
Eat accolades if you re right 
Eat praises when you shine like the gods 
Humbled abode is more peaceful than the street praises
Eat humility and you shall be the most peaceful person 
A gemstone most sedate folk upon the surface of the earth 
So eat principles not vain words

The Books

List of all the books I wanted to write 
Sound so terrifying and a terrifying ghosts 
At my baffled spindles yet not impossible to wade
If the passion at your passion hall don't know you 
There is nothing you can do at home 

New ideas and list of new books to write 
Came up faster than the speed of light and it was terrifying at first and after finishing some pressure comes down to a natural level 
It seems like an insurmountable burden terrifying at first to break the record of Ron Hubbard the world largest author by books of above a thousand and seventy five pairs of books with  two hundred and fifty million copies sold
Then I evolved from the world most unpublished author into the world most published author in on fell swoop.
Hurrah!

Raining days

Save for raining days
Do not listen to what I do
Listen to what I say
Nothing is greater
 than raining days 
Did you hear me?
Nothing is greater 
 than raining days 

Trials In Progress

My cousins in both sides of the patriarchal and matriarchal authorities 
Had dark pathetic eyes about me and my family 
Serious rivalry among family gathering 
I think it was the same every where around the world 
Maybe one or two were considerate about me
At the least they could do mocking accolades 
Not psychological diatribes if my conjecture of body languages and metalanguages permit me
Genealogies are caught in quagmire of inter generational malediction 
And malignant tumours could not fly 
Away where the avarice and derision rides
I gained mastery of dictionary with uncommon proficiency at class four ,five
And wrote my first but lost novel at 10
They sell electronics downstairs and we lived upstairs 
My cousins occasionally come upstairs 
To relax and take a short snap in our rooms 
They barely sleep but when they come 
We banter till day dusk and ready for them to go home.
My ovation grew up in their derision upon the cognizance of the intellectual prowess
Awareness about same thirst grew in their family 
It took me ages for my reflection to gain mastery 
Then i was agog in the competition I barely knew.
Derision flew right left and center tis my departure 
When details of my brother's itinerary broke open 
It was ridiculously derided across the board 
And till date I still wonder what the need for derision 
Within lineages and genealogies and family tree
To the point of fetish expedition and diabolical spells
A typical African spirit and we relocated to Lagos
In aftermath of fetish substance dug up from late father's factory floor
When exhumed unveiled the mystery behind the crash of this family silver 
Homeless in Lagos for quite awhile 
We survived thereafter and luckily enough 
In the seventh times'attempt we became landlords too in the megacity
Ordeals by landlords meted out to innocent folks
Too many a vile we could not recall 
Life is a journey of trials and griefs
At the end of the darkish tunnels and rainbow in the sky
Glorious sun arises.
Trials in progress better than trials in prison 

Run And Flee

Flee from those yahoos
Who doubt you
Your worst enemies 
Run from those 
who peddle lies
About you
Run and flee
And never return 

Rejoice My Jerusalem!

Who can swallow their victory?
They struggle to swallow my victory 
And it was quite uncharitable things to do
How much of the beautiful days have they stolen from promising havens?
Let the empyrean heights welcome my brook 
And golden stars above look down me with favor 
And at my Jerusalem I shall rejoice 
Rejoice My Jerusalem 

Blue Seas

The green field over blue valley 
The green trees over blue seas
Famished road engulfed sepulchres 
Tardier journey might hold up gold mine
Of glorious herald 
Tarnishing waters might be haven for stuffed shirts 
Like peppers in your blind eyes,the road from serdom seriously bleak and ever dim
Across the impenetrable quagmire of the deep blue seas  glorious sun in my fortress arises

Lift Up My head

He who lift your right arm 
Must lift your left arm
He who lift your right leg
Must lift your left leg
Between the above and your head
Which do you prefer to be lifted?
Nope
Not that please 
The head holds the key to 
Stardom 
Lift my head 
And leave the rest 
My head
Do not forget me 
Lift up my head 
O ye gate
Let me in
The glorious king
With glorious sun 

Above what?

I live above my apparent oddity 
Oddities beneath my feet 
Clarity flashed before me

A Dread Manager?

Torquoise waters rose to meet me
Petrified me left alone in the petrified wood 
Shuddered at the shuddering distance between me the forest and home at a stonethrow away 

Terrified by random sea surge that leave no hidden stone in the drowning distance 
Yet that golden voice of unbreakable faith 
Barely slipped my foot beneath the grand canyon with no rocky mountain 

How do you deal with dread?
My brethren 
Do you take it as breakfast or lunch or supper or something 
Quite terrifying 
Plead thee
Tell me

A dread manager or what?
Tell me 

My River bank

At my riverbank I wanted to know the world 
It was missing upon my couch in the home 
Where boredom may sometimes have the better part of you


At my river bank sprawling ocean shores 
Across the limitless diameters 
Starry skies overboard over my vertigos 

Is amplified expedition with ample testimony 
To the scorn of my shallow pride sunk upon shallow waters thumping up in my bone marrow
