Yusuff Uthman Adekola Poems
Go away; away from my way
For your sayings are but friendly explosives
Which the childish ear gladly accepts
Until the bomb does the boom.
...
It is dying.
Oh, it is dying!
The blossoming flower of beauty
That has always raised our shoulders
...
Drifting away,
On the lamb-gentle river;
On the thunder-rumbling ocean:
A raft whose direction none fathoms,
...
I know of a house
Whose roof is full of holes
Whose body is made of cotton buds
Whose floor is smeared with blood.
...
Head whirling and twirling,
Unbalanced: the movement.
Legs quaking and quivering,
Uneasy: the stand.
...
The Best Poem Of Yusuff Uthman Adekola
Say No More
Go away; away from my way
For your sayings are but friendly explosives
Which the childish ear gladly accepts
Until the bomb does the boom.
Go away; away from my way
For your words are thorns
And smiling sinister whips
That do nothing but flay the skin
Like the cutlass hacks off a tree's bark.
Go away; away from my way.
Go away with your jaw of dark forest
And mat dripping of infants' blood.
Go away with your theatrical teachings
And plus-like artefact which only feigns holiness
When your want is but business.
Go away; away from my way.
Let my mind be not unfree.
Say no more
For I will hear not anymore.
Say no more
For you do not, what you say
And follow not, the path you lay.
Say no more,
So you may sin no more.
