Boys cry
But men think they shouldn’t
Girls cry
But women sob

Boys play
But men joke
Girls play
But women are serious

Boys are real
Among themselves
But men pretend
Girls pretend
Among themselves
But women fake it

Boys act like they know
But men aspire to become
Girls "wanna be"
But women aspire to be better

Boys like
Men fall in love
But men play with your feelings
Girls crush
Women love
But women love too hard

Boys love competition
But Men love power
Girls love Friendship
But Women love Class

Boys hate chores
But men can now cook
Girls love chores
But Women now do more than chores

Boys dream,
But men achieve
When boys lie, girls believe
But women are those that make the men
Women they make the will to bend

Boys are young can do no wrong
Men are calculated, they know what’s wrong
Girls are young they make heads turn
Women are smart could make kingdoms burn

SUPERWOMAN
ADEOLUWAJOJU Dec 2018
She delivered her speech
It made her look flawless
Without a screech she became dauntless
Worshipped by each
Insecurity became meaningless
But one thing made her heart melt
One thing called Love

EVE

EVE
‪Oh Eve!‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
Oh Eve!
Thou embraced gluttony
And gave us agony

Oh Eve!
Oh Eve!
You Rest In Peace
While red, we release

Oh Eve!
Oh Eve!
Thou touched the tree
Now we are only 26 days free

Oh Eve!
Oh Eve!
I detest your creation
Whenever I see *******

Oh Eve!
Oh Eve!
Pray heavens gates are closed
If I behold you, I won’t be composed

Oh Eve!
Oh Eve!
You let women Down
But you bestowed unto us a crown
******* is the pain that yields glory. In that moment we feel regret, especially when we know the biblical story. Thankfully we are bestowed with honor even as we *******. It’s all good and bad feelings at once

INJUSTICE
ADEOLUWAJOJU Dec 2018
You are unfair
Unfair to your words
Unfair to my heart
Unfair to your eyes
Unfair to my mouth
Unfair to your promises
Unfair to my beliefs
Unfair to your lies
Unfair to my truth
Unfair to your lustful self
Unfair to my righteous self
Unfair to your hypocrisy
Unfair to my vulnerability
You are unfair for lusting after me
I am unfair to myself for loving you!!!
Do you ever love so hard, that you realize it isn’t worth it?

NIGERIA’S BIGGEST CULT
ADEOLUWAJOJU May 2019
The time to wail has always been here
Every day we suffer the consequences owned by the heirs
Not for once have they worn our shoes
They have refused to please our clues
Yet they devise new means of sitting on the throne
Without giving in to our daily moan.
Hypocrites

Meetings upon meetings
Agbada upon dansiki
Designer upon latest trends
Convoy upon macho guards
Yet they proclaim it’s all vanity.
Hypocrites!

In the end of the fashion rally at the house,
Worthless Nothing of importance is established
But the cake is diminished
And then they blame it on poor rats.   Hypocrites!

Blame them and no one else!
Because it’s their selfish interest they fight for and not us.
From the doom by boko haram
To the slaughter by herdsmen.
Hypocrites!

Don’t we see it!
The people get to die
But they live to see their greatest grandchildren
While their billion dollar ready made coffins rot in the backyard.
Hypocrites!

God is the ultimate judge
Only God can make the evil one right in his sight.

ON THE SWING OF REMEMBRANCE
ADEOLUWAJOJU Dec 2018
Is it your mood,
The one you swing on that reminds you of me
If so,
Act like I’m the air you swing through;
Invisible and intangible.
Swing on and on and on!
Ignore my aura.

I can’t be your stimulant
I can’t be your regulator any longer
So swing on and on and on!
Swing away!

AWAKE O HYPOCRITES!
ADEOLUWAJOJU May 2019
Obey the nations call

How do we serve our leaders right
When They stand for the worst
Then we say
“If I be in power I will work but I’ll steal a little”
Shame shame shame

How do we Help our youth the truth to know
When our friends are on their laptops defrauding
Shame shame shame

In love and honesty to grow
When only killings and kidnapping we sow
Shame shame shame

How do we live in just and truth
When We fight for equality
But the spirit of rivalry
Has overshadowed the objective

Great lofty height attain
But Religion is like scales in our eyes
“It is well. it is well”
Faith without work is dead

Double standards is the life we live
Shame shame Shame
Hopefully peace and justice shall reign.

Awake O hypocrites
With fluctuating morals
Shaky beliefs
Awake O hypocrites
And fight for the Noble cause

MOURNING SICKNESS
ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
what shall we say
Now that the dead is gone
What shall we say?

Will we reflect
Will we be remorseful
Will we be sad
Will we be vengeful
Will we lose hope
Will we still be thankful

what shall we say
When the killer is on the run.
What shall we say?

ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
Your touch is invisible
I see it clearly
I feel it deeply

You light up my life
With a whisper in my dark mind.
I experience glory

You are not a man
But a friend to many.
It’s undeserving

You love me
Excessively.
Am I worth it?
Gods love is still the greatest. Relentless love

CANDLE OF LOVE
ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
Light the candle of love,
And love the light you have lit

Give attention to the fire
Let it shine, don’t let it tire

Don’t give way to the wax
Its pride lasts longer than the candlelights'

Don’t give way to death
For then, will be the beginning of revenge

Light the candle of love
Love the light while it shines
Love is never-ending they say, but if you let the candle die....

EVIL LOOKS GOOD
ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
There was a man in black,
He confessed his love but she was cajoled by his wealth and so she fell for his charm

There was a girl in black
She confessed her love but he was ignorant of her trickery and he fell carelessly for an impostor

There sat mother earth.
She turned a blind eye to the mishaps and called it extraordinaire

WHAT KILLS A CURSE?
ADEOLUWAJOJU May 2019
What kills a curse
If not a curse.

If not the curse of prayer
If not the curse of death
If not the curse of a confession
If not the curse of a new birth
what else will it be?

The truth can **** a curse.
Start from telling it.

RELATIONSHIP 101
There is a way my heart cringes
When you are not with me

My own thoughts scare me
They make me see you in everything

Let’s hold hands
Till we are lethargic;
When we become bad for each other

MERE MAN
ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
God chose you
Not a “mere man”
He did not imagine being abandoned
Although he envisioned it
But he called you back

God chose you
Not a “mere man”
He whispered into your ears the truth
Hoping you’d “hearken”
But you refuse

God chose you
Not a “mere man”
His kingdom isn’t for them
He placed a crown on your head
But you refuse coronation

God chose you
Not a “mere man”
Gods love

PAINTING OF PRETENSE
ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
Imagine;
The canvas is the root of the planted dilemma.

Paint the truth with daffodils
Paint reality with roses

Exhibit your piece
Like you still have your sanity

Do not worry, your little writings behind the canvas is safe with us.

DEFILED
ADEOLUWAJOJU Dec 2018
ye of little skin
Frail at heart
Naive in the head
Indeed great pride has been stolen
From you
in the ***** of family

Father, mother
Uncle aunt
Brother sister
Drenched in guilt,
Made you a victim of the avoidable

It’s my story
Defiled to my sanity
My childhood with no happy story’s
My confidence has lost belief in my abilities
Once was I frail at heart
Now I have no heart
Forever I am scarred

I AM NOT ME
ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
Today I am not me
I sat with a scoundrel
We shot at the birds effortlessly
We shot at the guys accurately
We laughed codedly
like a snail in its shell

Today I am not me
I walked with a rebel
We stole money deliberately
We fought politics criminally
We rejoiced openly
Like a dragon unleashing hell

Today I am not me
I dined with Giselle
she taught me inappropriately
We sought for men judiciously
We did this secretly
Like a rat stealing a morsel

Today I am not me
I fell for Joel
We kissed intentionally
We loved unconditionally
We unveiled our reality
Like a man revealing his jewel

Today I am not me
Tomorrow I will be me
Sometimes we have to be dauntless
Sometimes we got to be disruptors
Sometime we just have to no be ourselves

PRINCE OF PARTIAL
ADEOLUWAJOJU Nov 2020
It's death.
The dying sleeps
And dreams her way into death.
I'm alive
But I'm mourning forever
'Til I dream too

It's death.
Chooses who gets to leave
Ungodly hour,
But a destined event.
I'm alive
Hoping to be taken
But not caught unawares

It's death.
She knows what exists
In the great beyond
Chooses how we explore.
I'm alive
Making earth a home
Until I'm taken to the unknown.

MELTED HEARTS
ADEOLUWAJOJU Dec 2018
Take my hands and thou won’t stumble
Look into my eyes and thou won’t fumble

Trust your heart to trust me
Trust your head to choose me

When by my side your best is to come
When in my arms I’m less of a ****

For I fall for you
And you fall carelessly for me
You won’t admit it’s true
For your heart I see

Let us dance under the moonlight
Till the shine of sunlight
Let us be together
Till the end of forever

PROCRASTINATED LOVE
ADEOLUWAJOJU Apr 2019
I have procrastinated love
I have hindered your affection from sprouting
I postponed the nights we’d be together;
For the truth I was scared to share.

I have procrastinated love.
Now, I wake everyday feeling empty
I thought you would have waited
But you left me and my thoughts to moan

You have procrastinated love
You too deserve the blame
You promised to return but like procrastination
You kept me in your mind
With no actions to back your vision

— The End —
