Enikanoselu Seyi Poems

Night I thank you,
For saving me from the laborious day,
For releasing me from the captivity of the sun,
For protecting me from matilda of the rain.
...

I was born like I see, an imbecile,
I agreed within me,
I took to my fate,
I received pleasure and prestige,
...

"You must push the pen to the column, " my father commanded,
"Your paper isn't inked well, " mother yelled,
Waiting and sighing in perfidy;
Bending over the rough and dull monsters,
...

When water is over-boiled,
It begins to dry up,
Soon the pot becomes burnt,
All in the name of peace.
...

TEARS OF AGONY

I mourn but with silent tears,
I wail within, yet I smile out,
...

HURT HEART

This is the world of tragedy,
A world of failure and deceit,
...

When fire burns in the forest,
We all see its smokes,
When I say fire burns on the river,
You all bother me with queries,
...

From the South,
Millions of sandstorms
Steaming like Mama stew on fire,
Loud echo of hot thunder rents the West,
...

I am an ant,
I live only not to die,
My pocket is not to build mansions,
Neither do I plan to make stables;
...

A year of peril,
This moment of annual dinner,
Did I dine with terror,
Did I wine with horror,
...
