HEAR MOTHER EARTH SPEAK

From steam to the combustion engine

Dangerous smokes daily dished out to her baby clouds

Even though we are having several meetings; signing many treaties

We still haven’t attended to her daily plead

See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

Many the Nations their trees; they fell

Many countries their Forest; less dense

Many cities uprising at much expense

Detriment to the soul of the mother without replenishment

See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

All the Gs; 3, 4, 5 and more

To generates massive speed for our daily needs

A reality and prep to face more heat

Guess we aren’t checking many things, deforesting to get more Gigs

See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

Even the deep isn’t left out of this gory head

Mother earth’s squids and whales can’t escape the unchecked human race

Coral reefs feeling the heat down beneath, tiny fishes dying of the spills ravaging the creeks

Oxygen in water turning toxic; it seems the waters are now boiling

See our warmth all together becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

Let’s pay attention to her cry

Like Sege Akinlolu proposed; plant more trees; make a shade for the future

Human thirst without control is a signed cheque for future thirst withdrawal

The earth speaks; never pay a deaf ear, regard nature, regard the environment

We will get there; tend Nature

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)

THE FATE IN OUR HANDS

In the mid 1960s Dinga area, the tension became as steam rising and oozing from boiling water in a kettle, the Just amalgamated newborn in; Dinga was like a baby learning how to walk, however, her case was as one with too many instructors; I could say more than 1 parent dictating the pattern of walk each deem as ideal for the young nation, eventually confusing the tender one. Ali Balrebe was 25 years old son of a Cleric in Northern Dinga, He had just returned from Academic sojourn in the United States of Alerica, after been schooled on Islamic rudiments from the age of 8 years old in Daure town of Northern Dinga, His father: though a staunch Islamic fundamentalist showed a little soft spot for western innovation and ideals secretly allowed his beloved son a trip to the west for academic enlightenment, a much-forbidden act by the Northern dinga society. On course, Ali was a student of Peace and conflict studies at the Howard University of Alerica. He gained insight i...

FOR EVERY SUFFERING; A BILLION MADE

For every blackout; a billion made For every darkness a bullion van Always wondering, why the contentment with our present state Men in a mask – politicos, importers of the noise engine causing us a headache For every dilapidated school; a billion made Invisible hands causing the deepest quakes For every salary not paid; a billion made Authoritarian hands multiplying the masses pain For every collapsed building; a billion made Men who threw the integrity test sheet away Now the walls cracked; not only was the foundation faulty: But some Men failed For every pond on the expressway; a billion made For every pit on our highway; some men got paid So many have somersaulted, but some has gained Oh the hydra-headed monster with tail soiling our fabric with stain How many billion more is worth the pain? How many men are still queued for the gain? Know that such gain throws millions into pain Is our life really for the billions or f...
