Joshua Akinwande Poems

Democracy In Nigeria
It’s been ages you passed into deep slumber
Or rather you were long dead, democracy
You have striven to rise but fall many times
...

I have discovered the importance of communication manure,

In the garden of life where the seeds of love and friendship are sown.
...

Gold is precious,
I am more precious
Gold is valuable,
I am more valuable
...

Clemency for me!
Really worthy of it? I don’t think so
After all I have done
You put them all behind you
...

I live the day to dream the night
As I dream the night to live the day
I work the day to rest the night
As I rest the night to work the day
...

Three values seek I in my jewel,

It must be true and pure with -in,
...

(Dedicated to Oluyemisi Janet Akinwande)

God empowered you mother to be a channel
Through which I found my way from heaven to earth
...

Oh beautiful Sunday morning,

Glad to meet you oh beautiful Sunday morning,
...

Have you ever imagined the world we live without women?
It's like a lung without some oxygen, agonizing and inevitably dead,
A face never with a smile, boring and unfriendly.
A cup of tea without some grains of sugar, bitter and foul,
...

I came to you because I loved you

I stretched my arm of friendship and you warmly welcomed me
...
