LET THERE BE PEACE - By John Chizoba Vincent

Let there be a new song of oneness
Not from the old triggered gun of lies
That perches on the ego of pride, and
Let butterflies grow in the shoulder of
Hatred that governs this breakable world.

We can be called the songsters of love,
Those who know how to curl joy among
Men shall we be known for all over;
This will bring us together in unity.
Boys will be boys again and girls, girls again.
Our daughters shall dream dreams again,
Our men shall go hunting rodent together;
The dance of our women shall be of holiness.

We can teach our fingers to hold one another,
Journey through with the world of others in 
Our heart of gold night and day, smiling.
Let there be peace in your honourable heart,
Let there be peace among the brethren,
We can suck out terrorism  among men;
Lick the verses in the joy of our brothers.
You'll be my hero before the song birds,
Do not ask how it going to come by here,
Do not ask with the eyes of lost and want,
Do not ask; it's possible with one heart.

We'll not die with this voice of silence,
Love those who make your day darker,
Tomorrow holds more feast in happiness.
Love those that poke their fingers in your eyes,
Our land need you and I to develop in purity.
Love those that scribed your name dishonestly,
We shall all drink from one cup soon.

The excitement in our lyrics shall rise soon
And we shall learn the great secret of water.
Unity is the core value of our lives,
Love strengthens our value of liberation,
Development beckon on the rock of oneness.
Give me your hands, we can build more when 
we are in one blood that speak better than that of Abel.

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

MY BLOODY PARADISE – BY ADEYEMO EMMANUEL OLUWATOSIN

Image
(A solemn night flute can be heard playing  at the background...) So I dream of that bloody day of glee, as on my stable feet I stand; like happy sun smiles, widely, eyes opened   As if it was now, here; great day! When I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting the love bond                     Rumbling beats and noise of wedding             ceremony envelopes the minutes...              It falls as solemn voice of agogo begins... Tell the obsolete long laughing sun; she is over efficient! Tell her to go! Her wet bed to find And rest alone! As once I dwelt when lifeless perfumed foam was my Juliet, tell her! I want the blue moon at crest! As I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond  Tell baba, now I want to be loyal; omo ekun, ...

OJA ALE (Night Market) -BY BADA YUSUFF AMOO

At Oja Ale The stars, the dew, the moon Transfix into the world of darkness To give life to those that sleep at night. Their ghostly voices, calling customers of silence To purchase from them, their aged dreams The sharpness of the falling dews Interrupting the dialogues of lone traders, wiggling  Their solo hymns, without a musical instrument At Oja Ale The market of misty walls and pavements They place their dreams on their feet and hawk With their hands on the earth, their heads at the centre Some are animal likes, with perpetual tails like satyr That form coniferous lines at the centre of the crowd Strangers experience the multiple metamorphoses That makes the heads float in the waiting cloud They are not evils; they are the other side of life Bewaji, My betrothed woman, daughter of the Gods Will you accompany me to Oja Ale? To explore the pleasures of dark miseries To visit these great traders the Gods mentioned in their verse ...
