Prince Adedeji S. Ologbenla Poems

As you step out of your comfort zone
Life might hit you hard on your face
You might stretch your hands for showers of blessing
And end up only with blisters and bruises
...

Ifemi,

Your face, nature’s hand painted
...

My soul sounds like an empty tank
Beaten by an iron rod
My heart cries to the evil in array in our land
...

There was a time
When shoulders were raised high
When hope beautifies people's face
There was a time
...

When the time seems so long
That it look like the pains will last forever
That the strong tide lift the cable strain
When it seems all hope is lost into darkness
...

First of the land
Above the ocean
gods lift they high
Just below God
...

As my eyes dim deep in death's counterfeit
My head nod to and fro to an unheard rhythm
As the feet of my heart sink low in the memory of the future
And my soul and body working solitarily in my being
...

When my ember of love grows
Into a full fire of love that glows
When the hidden eyes of my heart
Will shine my light of love on earth
...

Me asomé a la oscuridad del día
Con la burla maliciosa de nuestra generación
A medida que se pone detrás de la montaña de la civilización
Al ser un mestizo de la vida
...

Till tomorrow comes
When we shall know our fate
Let me not be that which can be forgotten
Let me be like the day you were begotten
...
