A War With The gods

A War with the gods

Our ancestors are fast and far asleep.
Their snores echoes through the heavens
As they can't hear the hubbub of the world they're meant to guard.

The human world has become the jungle,
Where Rodents became wild.
We lest afraid of rats above lions.

Our world has been doomed
Our fleshes are served in feast
By the beast that have us killed.

The Yewa river is no more drinkable
For the maternal.
In our world,
Thunders impersonate the rainbows.

The sage no longer foresee
Like Orunmila
All they see now is the noun
Placed on the loins of a sultry lass.

Èṣù crossed our paths
So many believed
As he announced the dethronment of Olódùmarè
This is a taboo on us,
The world is left with no gratitude
As we are all left in failing aptitudes.

Our pains are worn like togs of war
Darkness upsurge the light of Obatala
We need sticks to fight this war.
The gods have failed and
Who said they're not to be blamed?
We at war with the gods.
But our heart and the earth
Seeks the peace of yesterday.
We need to straddle this hurdle.

Aṣẹ̀dá!
Olódùmarè!
Olúwa!
We can upon your mightiness!
Solidify our souls like the rock of ages,
Make our flowers blossoms again
Like the one in Hereafter.
Bless our nights with the prayers of yesterday
And, glorify our days with the rays of the rising sun.

A REVIEW ON MYSELF

TITLE : A REVIEW ON MYSELF I wasn't able to study law Which allows me not to judge my flaw (s) I accepted it as what life has drawn I'm moving in a pace so as not to step on a claw. One faithful day, I stare at myself Through the mirror, then I asked the mirror What are you capable of doing for yourself? Then I said nothing, maybe it's an error. This is why I'm making a review A guy like me has always crave for a perfect love If not everyone knows, but few Knows it's a great pathology I'm unable to solve. They will say to me, Ibbwrites With the way you write in great plights You ought to have one, if not perfect A lass that is not far off, and will never defect. Thank God for making me who I'm I'm not like a falling water in the dam I'm growing everyday, can't you see my farm? I'm confident always, and feel so calm. I'm always afraid to wo...

MY SOLACE

TITLE : MY SOLACE Happy Birthday to my solace My makeup when I have a dull face My sugar in the time of sour taste Obviously we're from a different caste. It will be so cruel If I can't pen something for you here Because the day we met there We became intimate with no fear. Before today, you're just a friend But now, you're a sister to the end I'll be your lawyer, if you have a case to defend Today is yours, and that's the new trend. With your stature, you're my infant Trust you as my confidant Sometimes I accept to be a fool When you tease me on who's more beautiful. She's my perfect place of comfort Consoling me in the time of distress thought My cute girlfriend, adorable and short Don't mind me, you're still my fort. You've showed me love in many ways Even when I change and sways How can I appreciate those days You cared for me in many ways. My baby girl,...

RAVEN

The obstacles are unfeigned Me thinking of my present life… Now seems like a fictitious poem The scriptures could not avow me But destiny keeps me in the pace I became the sprinter The eclipse of the sun in the day Could not make thou blind Autumns burned me And my premature white hairs Like when deciduous trees lose their leaves I was pounded on the rhythm of… A yamless mortar with a pestle High and low. High and Low Birds flew to the sky I don’t know what they do If they spy or they pry But I know they could help me cry Cry out my raven Oh you lustrous black birds I freed you from genus corvus I’ve rolled a while sheet of English alphabets Fly in a black jet of sparrow feathers To my Papa and Mama Tell them I’ve learnt the alphabets of life Tell them I’ve been able to transcribe… Transcribe their antecedent of unknown words Tell them their echoes has inspired their child Tell them I’m bringing home the baton o...
