Deforestation (Poem)

Olagunju Yemi

With the tears of water, I confessed my sin.
For stars and beauty must all night have.
Evening bell call upon the dreamer's dream.
For blindness course, many call thee factors of evil.
Whereas, thou art lonely and peaceful in your wrath.

Let black blood flows into your blood,
Let the spirit of servitude in you turn to negritude,
Let the beauty of all black nights string into your veins,
That it may gives you happiness in all evilness,

Yesterday, It was a story,
The giants that fell our shrub among the poplars
Thence we were seated among the eminence of evil,
The caterpillar that wash away the fresh forest,
And turned it to an expressway,
And stranger work over our portions.

That's why fresh roads can hardly be seen now-and-days,
Who told them we were not satisfied with our horses and Carmel ?
They have left on us a permanent legacy that may  linger us into non solidarity,
Who told them want trains,
That they fall our forests and build railways in replaced

They have feed our mouth with poison,
That we now speak such scurvy terms against our own culture.
I will continue to weep into water till my tears kill the fish in big oceans.

Letter to my future wife

I surely know the color of your eyes. But till then, Stay wherever you are and be with me, keep yourself just the same way am keeping myself for you. For I'm still waiting, Waiting for the queen that will sit beside me forever, till death do us...  Waiting for the bone..... and flesh of my flesh Waiting to see we two as one My dear I have kept myself safe in His arm, Cus I know the Earth is not safe for the heart, Though, some years back I was a captive of a large audience, but n

Just to say thank you

Just to say thank you I know I'm not perfect But you love me anyway You accept every piece and bit And make me smile everyday You picked me up from the mouldy pit, You blessed me abundantly telling me that's just a bit. Thanks for the fear, Thanks for the tears, Thank you so much, many lost years. Thanks to the moon, And thanks to the sun, Thanks for the threats  and lessons of life, Thanks for causing so much strife. I wanted so much to say, For all the dept if I'm to pay. And in all the puzzle if I'm to play But lastly, For the love and for the care, For the peace of mind I have received, I will not but thank you for taking my life.
