Olufayo Ezekiel

Let it rain!
rain! rain! come around,
for the dry land is crying,
we dwellers are mourning.
...

In the duress of my pains,
In the World of my dreams,
In the imageries of my visions,
In the paradise of my mind,
...

Life; a season,
Time its misery,
Everyday, it runs the circle of destiny.
.
...

Arewa, Claim My Name,
'Claim it! Yes! Claim it! ' I Arewa, give me your heart,
'Give me! Yes! Give me! ' I ask.
...

He who runs,
Must never look back.

He who relays against masquerade,
...

None of these years I came,
Were the tender tunes of Omidan festival as high as this.

None of my net-like glimpses of old,
...

I'v been fed all seasons,
Through a spoon that straightens and bends to stand time's test.

Not from a silver spoon,
...

Your majesty,
The king of our home,
In praise, Our mouths,
Sing your low-name on high.
...

On a hot sunny day;
A pregnant woman
In an endless journey,
With a child clinging to her back,
...

A half dull lunar
rises on a mountain,
Foes and monsters in rage.
...

Uwhan! Uwhan! Uwhan!
Omotitun is here.
a visitor to the world;
sprouting out of womb,
...

Hmm...Akungba igbeyin,
the season in the sun,
when the time stops the fun,
Our bellies face tne burn,
...

I am a wood seller,
with my knickers of myth, I move my planter,
gold-mine I dont have,
though every morning, I starve,
...

In my sleep,
I dream nothing
But the shining angelic her.
...

The sacred home of all birds,
Where the eagle fly higher in length,
The parrot gives out its all round poke-
nosing news around the fainting world;
...

Love has opened its gate,
Hearts searching for hearts,
The tune of the day is high,
As lovers festive their best moments,
...

Are they rhyme?
The fingers are carved,
Carved in free verse,
Each arm, with five stanzas,
...

Oh! confusion is upon us,
Hawk came to our land,
singing and talking like poultry,
chicken-hearted hen roaming,
...

With the shining sun,
And the twinkling stars,
I swear to shield you at war,
And pledge to sail for you;
...

Furious f-a-te perches on man
Weaving its webs all
over his wonder world.
The prowess of its MIGHT;
...
