I. I don’t write about love Not a topic for my likes I don’t read about love Don’t want to experience its hikes I don’t talk about love Don’t want to revisit the past I don’t dream about love Can’t cope with its blast But you make me fall again With it, shall I… Continue reading TWO HEARTS by Oku-ola Abiola Paul

May you rot in the pit of shame I swear, a lorry will make you lame If you don’t stop the lazy man’s game A… Continue reading DIE, HACKER, MASTER OF STEALTH!!!
FADING INK
In slant and well carved holeWas it buried in a mild coalAs names do cleft on tombOn wall, was its speech dumb That, I supposed was a numberAn address, waiting for its finderClenched in front of the buildingIn hope not to fade of it’s bleeding The drooped paint pootled in shyBut that, I guess could… Continue reading FADING INK
PERFECT RHYMES
If I have to spend my time, I’ll stay away from crime, To catch a perfect rhyme Using poetic words I refined, In each verse, they are confined With my intention well defined And no verbiage assigned I give a piece of my mind And pass wisdom to man kind If a rhyme could hide… Continue reading PERFECT RHYMES

Lie not, son, and do not steal; For naught in the world should you kill My father’s words—they were fresh As I lived circumspectly in only things good; Ere the stranger came to weary my flesh, Good and bad I… Continue reading THE STRANGER’S SPOIL
BRAIN DRAIN
He sat on a pile of books, Lucubrated wrinkles cracked his looks, Geometry’s jugular, he clutched in a vice grip, And a crowd of tongues sprung from his lips, Yet frayed linen embraced his lean frame, As he squeezed little bread from his great name. Patriotism died, he fled the Motherland, Now strangers drink the… Continue reading BRAIN DRAIN
EVERYTHING NA DOUBLE DOUBLE
You fly the flag of Christianity Its god is the God of prosperity; The church has your attendance, Prosperity is all it preaches; Serving the forgiving God of riches, You make money by atrocities. “Your miracles is on the way, For it you must pay”; Seeking the price you go astray, Approaching is the Sabbath… Continue reading EVERYTHING NA DOUBLE DOUBLE
