Adebayo Tajudeen Poems

COMPANION OF THE CABIN
Fate brought them together
Tightened by toil, they remain bounded
Visited by same vicissitude
...

                 
Fire cold as an ice              
Yet its flame burns          
Water flow life
...

I am from you and from you I took
a fraction of you makes my frame
I took of your substance
leaving you frail and pail,
...

Give man life
He ask or immortality,
give him a wife
he lusts for concubines
...

What taste is of a lump of flesh?
Bitter than the green of bile yet
Sweeter than the brown of honey;
tinnier of an atom yet
...

Serve your heart with the
Poison of avarice
See it dead of contentment
Serve your mind with
...

In the hollow of a shapeless vacuum
suffice only to turn cyclical
where the preoccupation is
eat, play and swim
...

In the hollow of a shapeless vacuum
suffice only to turn cyclical
where the preoccupation is
eat, play and swim
...

With belly of bribes
corruption as character
voter's welfare, on their tongue
not in their hearts
...

fall for it trapped in it
clad in skimpy nude
bear it all
popping eyes gears
...
