“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...

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)
