Alex Adeoye Biography

O’ traveler tell me tell me
Tell me about your journey so far, from morning till now?
‘Like picking among orange, walnut and bitter cola,
A herculean task of must, hence the journey may not commence

From my parent,
Who advised, 'Use paper.'
Charity begins at home.
...

Happenings are the events
Whose dealings roll away into history
As history are biographies of men
Whose activities snowball to stories.

Thrown to you for a purpose.
Swallow your mussel
And get fat of it.
