OGBOMOSO

Ogbomoso
Like first rain
I came to you a stranger
And in the warmth of your arms
You absorbed me like soil

And in the scorching heat of life
You shade my soul to its toe
And when hunger came like thunderstorm
You quench it with thunderbolt
And make success my home

From the best of creatures
You chose my friends
In pictures and motion
I saw angels and demons
In the flesh of man

My stay with you
Was like honey and bread
But like the movement of the sun
It is destined to set
I have to bid you flee

Your presence in here
Shall remain a scar
Even In the stormy winds of life
Do forgive my woes
Till we meet again

FAREWELL TO A HERO

The day has come again Did we longed for this day? It snailed towards us Bringing an end To decades of Barakah Just yesterday with eagerness We stetoscoped the sky Searching for the crescent moon Sadly we google the sky today For another ambigous one You are our hero Your first decade was a blessing The fragile heart became robust Our mosques became flooded Even our plates metamorphosed Then your second decade of bliss The Tashe during the day and night The Gwauro melody, drums and beats That brings back old memory To the senile and doddery mind Barely do we sleep in your third decade Hoping to see that night of power Your odd days were sacred 83 years of worship and even more! Just for a night! We are in a dilemma now To browse the sky for a crescent That could end your stay days on earth I guess it is farewell to you O! Ramadan. 26 July 2014 at 18:19

MY FIRST VISIT TO THE U.S My first visit to the U.S was a memorable one, I don't know why because I have visited other foreign countries like this before but this present one was special. May be it was because of the way a snicked into this highly secured country scaling through the burden of securing  visa from the American embassy. Or may be because I was given a free pass by the immigration officers, the drug law enforcement agencies and other related border patrol agencies. The most surprising of it all was my been able to bypass the medical checks at a time when the presence of the deadly Ebola dieseas have been confirmed in Lagos and Rivers state, and Nigeria as one of the Ebola countries by the World Health Organization (WHO). This have gained dominance in the social network and other media outlet worldwide. For a while I thought and said to myself " that is Nigeria for you, the U.S is different" I boarded my flight and I arrived. I knew the journey fro...

FAREWELL TO DECEPTION I want to call a spade by its name It may hurt though But truth is nothing But Truth Allow me To marry the scorch And free myself From this ocean of lies Go! Deception Go! The door is there Calling out on you Be kind enough And give it that chance For which you denied me S.K. Adams 170715
