Samuel Jolaosho Poems

To graveless souls that roam and lack the rest
Around the world, down up the mystic sphere
As triggered here by man's sick greed and zest,
And careless acts, ills, lust on earth right here,
...

To brothers, mothers, sisters, fathers, whose
consciousness are here shackled - living still -
we'd pause en route - and tears for you would ooze
from our within - our daily leaps, you fill
...

Ti nba ni ibon ti ndan,
Aiye mi iba dun gan
Ro ota si opolo
Awon tin mun mi lo'bo;
...

My life's truly and wholly MINE,
And I so swear it will be FINE,
Won't never mind what foes SIGN,
All I know is my light will SHINE!
...
