Death is nothing . - By Yaya Abayomi



If I kiss sand today 
I have only slipped away to the next room. 
I am, you are you. 
Whatever we were to each other, 
That, we still are. 


I did rise and take flight. 
Death is sweeter than honey 
The sword of death 
My only fear 
The fear made me to flee 
From darkness into light 
To free captivity 
Unbinding my soul from his will 
The angel of death at his kill 
Death is still Nothing 
Your death will come to you, and never 
You shall be, else, a slave of life, 
Death is sweeter than honey 
Just waiting for a dawn's favor, 
From nights of poverty and strife.
Death is nothing  



Death is a Dialogue between 
The Spirit and the Dust. 
"Dissolve" says Death—The Spirit "Sir 
I have another Trust"— 
Death is beautiful 
She'll build with you a common law, 
One will of the Eternal Reign. 
And you are not condemned to slow 
And everlasting deadly pain.
Death is nothing 
But paradise of joy 
Artist of death 
Draw me my home 
Death is nothing
If I die today 
Cry me not 
Death is sweeter than honey

They came with ideas; religion, education, business transaction, making Africa a raw material place where their solid land was built up by it. Through this, African lifestyle changed and wore another garment because of the predicament at the advent of British. Though Africans had their normal dramatization (in form of folklore), their experiences for the coming of British always feature in the African drama and theatre that was inherited from Europeans. The origin of African drama and theatre based on traditional, history, and contemporary dramatic forms in Africa which range from sacred or ritual performances to dramatized storytelling, literary drama, or modern fusion of scripted theatre with traditional performance techniques. The diversity in performances is as a result of massive spread of cultures and traditions in each country. A lot of t

OLUỌRAN[i] - BY OLANIYI ABDULWAHEED

Tell town crier of the day and cock to crow at dawn There is in my room Mushroom The one which witch wishes, Much there is in Mushroom Who says you are not much in pot? Tell them there is much, To those that do not know this world, even If thousands cannot full their will Tell you are the source for sauce Swelling husband’s head To swallow mounts of yam; pounded For those who know not Tell you are the ingredient Of wife in her spouse’s house No sauce without you Mushroom more source Source for sauce, A woman without happiness When much is not in the room Who says you are not holy? Tell them your cloth is white Tell them you are a saint Purely you appear to your beggars’ wishes. Not you, they only taint themselves With their haste, just to taste, Even thousands of your legions can’t Quench the thirst of their greed, Say you do not unholy Who says you are short? Tell them You are the compass That architect thrill;

SCEPTRE OF LETTER - Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi

Carve it in lines, Not in marble; Sceptre of letters, Shaper of worlds. Paint it in gold, Not in silver; Sculpture of the sun, Giver of light. Keep it yet aflight, O spirits of winds, This dove of peace Must never be caged. Quench but not, blower of air, This flaming fire, insight of truth.  (For prof. Segun Adekoya)
