“Oooh! Save us from old wines”





  “Oooh! Save us from old wines”



He once headed the council of chiefs
Together they became a gang of thieves
Pilfering the commonwealth
Eating the gains and drinking the peoples sweat

By time and chance they became ousted
And the community witnessed some rest
Many; thinking they had accepted their wrongs of acute misdemeanor,
Went on honeymoon spree.

Alas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gbenga, kiku and the rest erupts from their hiding tunnel,
Stretching forth fingers to the air trying to make atonement
Even baba sanjo secretly manipulates
He just can’t get his hands off the national chocolate

Every four 365, the brethren keeps buying new skins
Hoping to pour in new wine
But the vendor betrays,
He still secretly brings in the expired wines
And somewhat mixes it with some drop of new ones 
But when the assumed new wine gets into the belly
Some aches starts telling
But the belly owner tells the belly to bear,
That the aches’ only got another four 365 to stay there

Some bellies and the owners submit to death,
Some submit to bear,

But all in all; a Man called the greatest
Says; least ye keep pouring old wines into new skins and they keep bursting
Pour new wines into new skins and preserve them

Oooh brethren rise up to the call and separate the old from the new
Lest our skins keeps tearing.

MY FATHER

Many framed men Hefty yet without course Many Huge men; many but yet not strong Many Daddies comes handy, yet not really Daddies But you my Father; you are out of this world Of the frame of a house set upon the hill which cannot be hidden A man brimming with daily tenacity Considerable yet wise A custodian of truth not lies Ever seen a structured entity with a structured approach; yeah that’s my Father Relentless as the Eagle strolls the skies for her eaglet in winter and summer Many men may refrain from the cold as a bane; yet in it, you toil, not issuing complain Spent time with you; never really seen your frowning face; still, u didn’t spare the cane Many men there is, yet a Good man is scarce But amongst the few; you aim for the stars @ ½ a century and 1 still bouncing like a boy I am certain you will reap many years in abundant Joy @Bolaji Olaniba (2019)

Nay! Not an abode from they that slay

-As conquest grew and wars loomed  - A hand grew mightily up in the lands of sreal - A hand that slain, as of first practice, the flesh of bears and blood of beast flowed like streams. - He slain the 10,000 and the 100,000 - The flesh and foreskins of men wearied him  in the land of philistines for yea! They were many that lieth waste  - He grew mightily by the Hand of His Lord, His kingdoms stayed knitted together; indivisible - This man sought a house for His Lord of lords and His King of kings - Nay!! saith His Lord, thine hands are filled with violence and thine feet tread upon streams of blood, they flow before me as oceans - Hence, should I dwell in an abode coupled by these hands, nay!! - I have chosen thine offspring, he shall give me an abode I desire, from the hands of peace  - No one takes your place in my heart - But nay!! a house of blood!! I wouldest not take from thee  (Tales And Rhymes Of a Man GOD Loved So Much) By Bolaji Olaniba
