TO HIS RUNAWAY BESTIE

-
Last night;
 In my dream,
  I dreamt of you
   Stood before me,
    Yet, I could not talk
     How much I missed you,
      You flee across my path
       Still, you could not chirp,
        To disclose your location .

Meeting you gave;
 A few days with honey
  Long nights of heartache,
    Dreams come and go really
     Only this one left me a topic,
      Till the daylight morn with me
        I shall ponder and keep pondering,
         That you might show up tomorrow
           To give an informative smile, at least.

Wish you can ever know;
 How much I've searched you,
  Shadows waved me bye in jungle
   Sickness of the arduous trekkathon;
     Embalmed Moon's foots in cold pains,
      Now, before the next unmapped quest
       Wherever you are, remember me today,
         Before my breath gives a left-right nod
           Come back now, and say a warm goodbye.

TO THE WORLD, FROM THE WORLD

Restless I become, like a leaf, dancing on water, When terms unspoken ripples along my tummy. . I wish I could also spit and breathe life, to walk, But, what dominion has a word over the world? . Since this wide wordy world is not my own, Only these terms I utter -- my possessions. . Behold, these countenance creatures of mine, In many minds, it shall walk, to live, after me. #PsalmsInk © Samuel O. Ogunyinka, (Psalmist).

RISE UP NIGERIA

When will you be corruption free? Oh, my great nation, When will you hold degree? On these your abandoned mission. “Arise O'compatriot!" The way you called, Here now I am, with a good thought Why should I meet you curved? Why must you be pierce to pieces? Why must you be mercilessly tortured? When you wear a cloth made of peace Sewed and unified with agriculture. Rise up Nigeria! Take back your glory, You are the giant of Africa Do not end up with a sad story. Pythons you harbor Send them away! They are your devilish neighbour Let them go astray. Fight them with all your might Possess back your possessions, Those denial of one's right Fight them in all ramifications. You are black And back is beauty, The one that shines in dark With the heritage so pretty. Rise up Nigeria! Take back your right, You are the giant of Africa Fly high like a tattered kite! #PsalmsInk #HappyIndependenceDay #RiseUpNigeria © Samuel O. Ogunyinka, (Ps...
