HABIB AKEWUSOLA - POEMS

Habib Akewusola a poet in Nigeria

                               STARTING WITH GOD
 
​
God the spirit
Angels are wind
 
Man the disobedient slaves,
Sun might get fed up of
Lightning a new day
 
Language knows all
On earth, pay to dance on every noble floor
Age seven began to record my flaws
 
Family introduce headache
And provides a cure.
 
Friends betray every other day
Not even a boring hug,
 
I hear love is been sold at the mall,
Skimpy gown, only to advertise a little more,
 
Wife material
Road side tailor comes proposing,
She hiss and run
 
Fly out to nowhere,
Fishes still don't know net. 


                                         MILK TAXI
 

Welcome to the promise land
Called milk gold.
 
I have been standing by this
Signpost,
Putting on my best coat.
 
White stones fall and cause
Me cold,
No milk taxi wants to pack my
Load.
 
One says I am made of coal
Which would stain his cloth,
I pick a leaf to clean my skin
But, I see no coal.
 
We have the same nose
His is pointed like hose,
Under the sun there's no
Fixed home.
 
Never will I reject your toast,
We all are made of same bones.
