kolawole ogunfowokan Poems

I know a land with so many brains
But thinks and acts with its glands
It is only motivated by the banks
With the content of the banks they play so much pranks
...

Gbagun gbagun gbagun (beats)

Koko koko ko koko koko ko (gongs)
...

Is like the loss of a part of us
We feel so dry we won't be moved
We cry so loud, we won’t be heard,
But all of this won’t bring them back.
...

You left the best to meet the rest
The best you left is now a gem.
I washed and watched to see her grow,
Now the world as seen her glow,
...

I had this precious garden I was willing to tend
I worked so long on it till I saw it blossom my way
From no where the storm came and blew the trees away
I tried to gather the remains and see it green again
...

She draws me near yet pushes me away
I held forth and hold no sway
Silently like a monk I pray
Don't let this cup pass me by
...

Here is a song she sang
Sang to her beloved
'Ade ori mi' she said
The crown to my golden head
...

In the beauty of your calmness
And the comfort of my loneliness
I sought for nothing but peace
Peace that is above all
...

The lens in pair so blue
Could be brown
Its effect so sharp
Could bore a hole in you
...

His mind in a state of the jungle
Roaring, perching, and hissing
Things ground to a halt
To the rivers the wind blew
...
