OBDURATE THUNDER -BY BADA YUSUFF AMOO



 Mythical stories shrouded
Enacted rituals of the past
Masterpiece of economic chapter
Concoction of true false dividends
Accompany by the wind


Bring them more, bring them more
We are the singers of change
Recollecting our folk stories
Enjoyments of hungry bellies
The river bows to obdurate thunder 

The sun wig draws the parallel within
The river watches the thunder in awe
Like Joshua’s congregation waiting for miracles
Bring them more, bring them more
We are the smiling sufferers

Let the river hope for more thirst
The thunder clapping on mythical stories
Rounding about enacted past rituals
Pun punctuations on its passages
We are the hoping hopes after sunset

FOR MY LOVE - By Abdulwaheed Olaniyi

I have dived in the mystic ages of your heart, Dreamed  in the silent heart of the night, Envisaged our union Through the binocular rainbow of your eyes. Ayo, I looked through the eyes of the sky, gazing at your rainbow from afar, I lingered to touch the sky, but the cloud held my eyes to hug your heart. If cloud seals my eyes to see your face, My heart echoes the sonorous song of my lines to you And my mind's eyes can view your beauty. Let my love continue to breathe in the gentle shore of your heart. © Abdulwaheed Olaniyi 2019
