Olufayo Ezekiel Poems

Let it rain!
rain! rain! come around,
for the dry land is crying,
we dwellers are mourning.
...

Shameless she,
Like a bitch dog on the street,
Marketly, Olosho, the commercial body seller markets her body for gold.
...

In the duress of my pains,
In the World of my dreams,
In the imageries of my visions,
In the paradise of my mind,
...

Life; a season,
Time its misery,
Everyday, it runs the circle of destiny.
.
...

Arewa, Claim My Name,
'Claim it! Yes! Claim it! ' I Arewa, give me your heart,
'Give me! Yes! Give me! ' I ask.
...

He who runs,
Must never look back.

He who relays against masquerade,
...

I'v been fed all seasons,
Through a spoon that straightens and bends to stand time's test.

Not from a silver spoon,
...

Your majesty,
The king of our home,
In praise, Our mouths,
Sing your low-name on high.
...

On a hot sunny day;
A pregnant woman
In an endless journey,
With a child clinging to her back,
...

A half dull lunar
rises on a mountain,
Foes and monsters in rage.
...
