“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.

OUR WORLD: FAR FROM MEEKNESS

Our sphere though laden with many souls, but not many 'souls' Many clans, many groups, many races, yet many hates  Discrimination, prejudices, stereotypes, greed and bigotry forms at least many hates  Our faces gloom, many faces dried, yet many hearts filled with hates Help is far, piety is missing, bliss is wanting, we've sent meekness packing  We are proving our worth by monuments of mammon and by violent contest, for we've sent meekness packing Enough has been transformed to scarcity, safety to war; for greed came knocking, so we sent meekness packing  We are considering our unique identity above our humanity, less or no empathy; for we've sent meekness packing Though we strive and fight, though we battle for supremacy  Alas! as it is written in the books of Yeshua, only a kind of humanity shall reign upon the earth The meek, yes the meek: they shall inherit the gains of this sphere Yes! they shall reign in the lands, hence, we could choose their path Bo...

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

PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD (ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS)

POEMS THAT INVOKE THOUGHT PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD (ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS) By Bolaji Olaniba There is one whose ambitions are greater than the sacred life of the people He tosses his glass of wine to the massacre of the common man The news of scattered human flesh pinches him not He is immovable, because of his never satisfied political want *Sigh* Hope in the existence of the SUPREME ONE; Common man. Though the ideology of our political dogs seems greater to them than the human Blood All around the world are leaders whose smiles are as Dane guns *Sighs* Hope in the existence of the ALMIGHTY ONE; common man. They stand upon watery ideologies Claiming they will see it out with all their ability, That they represent men called; ordinary But they end up with staunch grudges Maiming same beings by virtue of great greed. Religious they say, political they claim Being sponsored by those who put out teethes of deceit Me...
