EXPERIMENT
It is possible you see it
See or see not
It remains immortally unexpressable
Life has no definition at all
Some things work here and fail there
Some works now and fail later
That was a major error
Seeing things is an entire condition
If you really met the light
As in walk out of darkness
Keep mute and stay away
Do not go into it
Keep unto the narrow path
Strong is your chance and hope of coming out
But most probably not understand
Do not step into the ditch
The first and foremost precaution

THE BOY BY THE ROAD (Part I)
He is the mirror of his own reflection
The wails of hardship and lamentation
Long curtained from his affections
The veils of which were in shadow
A pimp of his past from the window
Aligned the pains of a widow
Played from his memories in book
A tail from which the world must look
The pot where burns and pants are cooked
The enjoyable suns he trod
Eating from stones and rods ……….
And several chores too odd
A page earlier to read
The rhythmic chorus he heeds
From one head to another head
To guard his empty tummy

BLEACH
No matter how clear is the sky
There'd be some dark cloud
Yes, by the sky originally is clear
The thriving place for plants and motiles
Mother Earth is the sweet home of life
Fire in the appropriate situation
Is to aid human meal and some other things
Water to soften the ambience
Water to house life in water
Human in part said water is life
The elements meant to house life
Four of them to please the living
In their immortality
Function to support the mortals
Easen all of live
One can trap the history of Man
Yes, how and what it was like at start
Lot done in the best of intetions
In the interest of then and now
Greeds and the likes darkens the soul
The world was originally innocent
All to be done
Is to bleach the world in material
The possibility of which is wind on Jupiter

SIDE EFFECT
This is a point
About the incesssant motions
Of live and the living
Of the elementary immortality
Think not
Even of what becomes of the after life
Assume it's an unending sleep
Yes and true
Hustle is the spirit of life
The soul of the ghetto
Talent is the first son of perfection
Be at best, exhaust the talent
All you can to survive, please do
But
Mind life in entirety
All the efforts of man
Had it been positive
Harmless as possible
When need be, least harmful
To the ambient world
Earth now
We may read as the synonym of paradise
Prosperity we must seek
But it is fate
Written in conditions beyond human reach
There is no need to go evil in her name
Let us go after it
Following an avenue
With positive side effects
Much as we can and all of the time

AKINTUNDE
In my last dream
I saw a boy and a girl
In thick, heavy, brown clothings
Their hair scanty and unkempt
They were doing the agro in the ancient way
Hitting things to reveal their content
Kernel of palm very hard
They looked like slaves
The boy got to a spot and sank very sharp
His name was Akintunde
Akintunde, the brave one has come again
The girl looked so blank
Maybe seeking what went wrong deep in her
It was an old woman narrating to an old man
I heard her voice so clear sayin that
The land has swallowed Akintunde
What a pain in hell?
Where is the girl's partner?
Could it be the woman's son?
Could the man be the father?
Akintunde!!!
Where are you?!!!
It's a must now that I ask
You appeared in my dream
Now my friend so close to my heart
Oh you mother Earth
I have a new friend and his name
Akintunde, the god of the land
Akin,
I want to see you again
Other Earth
Could you vomit Akintunde
Now that I'm awake
You have my blessings wherever you are now
And...
I love you Akintunde, the god of land
You took away a lot
come back with 'em
Or send 'em to me
With your sign on 'em
Your hands if not you
My Akintunde, the brave

CONFESSION
I was born weak
Though with ample strength
In the internal realm
I say no to growing weak
Numerous things from the ghetto
It's a but
That only a little gets back home
Bests you see
Possess diamond as the backbone of hope
Another reason why
The subject should not break in time
Here, they call me this
There, they call me that
They didn't name me just like that
It's truly because I be this
Sometimes too, I be that
On the ladder of time
I climbed the years
Yet not sure what height to declare
Hurdles and the likes, some I jumped
I can't even start that, journey still on
Name for the grace, I do not know
For and from the almighty
So I beleive
This or that
Parts of the legend is bigger than the hero

YOUNG MAN
My name is Young Man
Sometimes ago I was smaller
Now, I am stout
If you wish, you may spell out the differences
I can't see my own heart
But I can and will read it
Are you one of those
That call me Nothing
While I am Young Man
I've seen and I'm seeing
Even you have not and cannot see everything
Grossly,
Tell me your superiority over me
The something that you bear
Was nothing and no more Young Man
I won't say I'm better anyway
Yes, this is stout Young Man
Hello Mr Old Man
You know what I don't
Really yes and maybe true
When my name changes too
What if I saw a wider gamut
I listen to you Old Man
But tell me the rules
You never even got to it
Whatever we fill the box with
You and I ain't taking a step beyond terminal
Strength and weakness
Beginning and end
All must phenomena
In the story and all through
To a boundary that no one shall ever transgress
Am I even human
No, I am Young Man
And what is Young Man
Indefinite potential
Infinite prowess
The universe
And all of space is not enough
Only time is the boundary
It will never die

DREAMER GIRL
She lives in a world not near
She is always happy, smiling and dancing
The only reason Earth is unsafe for her
You might think she is an alien
She is just like you and me
Very real like all the things
From where she does live
She still smiles on the race
That the little children may come out to play
The life of a galaxy
Queried size
Oh you beautiful lady of the moon
You did't hear of her
But severally, i a state or so
You and even you
Must have seen the dreamer girl

BLESS ME NOW
All the things so wished for
A palace and a mobile mansion
Cool this and hot that
Shall be possessed with believe
But when
The prayer to the almighty
For the want to be personality
And all of the above
The road to being smooth
Royal and shining
The ups to be lowered
The downs to be raised
Levelled platform for the journey
Before the time we wait for
In addition
Bless me now

TROUBLED SEARCHER
The saying of my people
Reality that lasts
Till the end of time
They said
"Long life or no worries, you have to choose one"
See what man made himself
What we craeted with our hands
Are the reasons we are lost
The cause of the move without direction
"O pe laye, oju re koni ribi, okan ni o fowomu"
One mystery that is immortal
Is that all the worries
All the questions
All the pain
And the gain so far
Did not bring out from darkness
The definition of life
Even the shortest life is troubled
But it never made a difference
"Eni waye ko raye, eni raye ko damo"
He who looks for life doesn't see it, he who sees it doesn't recognize it
Despite all the troubles
For the short and long lives
No one ever found it
