Raimi Babatunde Poems

Take me back to yesterday
When holiness trumped prosperity
When churches won souls
Not the craze for numbers and money
...

Alone in the sands
The fields was yellow
It lost its greenery
What could have happened?

A Poem: Stop Female Genital Mutilation

I watched the cut
Blood flowed freely
...

Oh! Africa!
Let me tell you
About my dearest Africa
The cradle of human civilization
...

Time is a commodity
Short in supply
I can't wait anylonger
That's why I want to worship
...

My love for you,
Like a candle that doesn't loose its flame
Despite the breeze of trials blown.
...

May today bring you dews
Dews raining with favour
That will culminate in turnarounds
...

She saved my line with "Mugu"
And you said it means "Darling"
You never have data
Yet, you are always
...

I was nyctophobic
Until I met you
The atmosphere became astraphobic
Suddenly, my head became ligyrophobic
...

Let us sail together and navigate our path
the storms may be rough, but we'll survive
Promise you'll stay till the end.
