The drunk poet
Drunk poet Nov 2016
He sat with despair
In the round table of loneliness
Trying to appraise the face of sadness
His love for this world is lost!.
The solace in this Pacific space
With the company of the gracious maidens
Onus entwine his soul, of help be
Only the bartender not the DJ
The aural of this lies in the wine
Sorrow has visited through the back door.
Shots succeeded shots like an hungry glutton
Intoxicated with great lines of poetry
As every drop of the liquor reach his soul
I am the drunk poet
Drunk with poetry!

Ancient road
Drunk poet Nov 2016
My past hunts me
Like an Hunter looking for his first catch
So I sailed to the road that leads to yesterday
To find the pieces that makes who I am
.
The present hunts me
Like the bite from a fretful scorpion
So I sought healing from
The therapeutic herbalist
Whose shrine stands at the end of the
world
.
The future scares me!
Like the smile of a village witch
It gazed back at me and called me
So I sought the gate leads to it
.
Be strong! Father would say,
These are the puzzles I foretold!
No honor lies in giving up!
None dweal in dying!
Fight son, fight!

Lessons from my father
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Father was an acumen,
The doublefold of Solomon's wisdom
Resides in his words
.
Father and his sarcastic smile,
Hardly seen through his coughs
When pulling out his pipe from his mouth
.
"my son"  He said frantically
As he chuckles through his wrinkles
Look at me!  What do you see?
I stammered, I chuckled, became confused
.
Life is a puzzle! He muttered as His mouth
Reached out for is pipe again
Asking me to pour him more of mama sodiq's Palm-wine
Strength and might are weak to solve this puzzle!
But great wisdom is stronger! He said
Grow up son! Grow up!!

Moment of felicitation
Drunk poet Oct 2016
.
Let me invite the drums,
The Gangan and omele
Let me further surmoun the sticks
All to be arranged in the respect
Of their ages and sizes
Then let Ayankola's hands beat out the rhythms
.
I plead to mama sodiq's Palm-wine
To render us her sweetness.
The gracious Omidans of this village I must behold!
The grace of steps, dexterous twists,
The exhilarating chants and colourful apparel,
Tinted with beaded waists
.
As the ascenstors come out to watch this
Colourful moment of ours
Let the gods drink to this hour
This moment is true
The storm has recided!
Here comes the calm as
The future foretolds

My father's flag
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Father and his immortal dreams,
Held firm by his halyard heart
Sometimes his mind got siege by
Achievemephobia
But Father would leave his footprint
On the river!
"follow my prints"  He said
It leads to the assembly of minds
The sand might be thirsty for your blood
Be strong!
The vultures might be hungry for your body
Fear not!
The Hawks might hover around your destiny
Have faith!
When I become an ascenstor
I forbid you miss me
But carry the cross
It's the legacy!
Wave the flag!

Round table
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Pour us more Palm-wine!
Said the groom as he stood
Mama sodiq, you sell the best Palm-wine in this village
Palm-wine! Palm-wine!!
Poured into the cup of my consciousness,
As I move through today, I call on you to give me
Thy guide as I dive into the storm of weaving waters
Ever since that day, blessed by the gods
When I met my Ajoke, at the òdún ìgęsún night
Adorn greatly with sweaty shaking breeded waist
Of the Omidans of our village
Bimpe! Kunle's resting stool,
The little mouse àlonpé from the village of Alarape,
With the help of mope, yours is not the matter of kowope.
Your intellect surpasses that of wole the head of the palace gaurds
Moving from one palm tree to another
Just to get my message to ajoke
Bode ògbójú ode
A rare friend whose great guns of words
Fired down enemies standing as storms
I pray you find true love with Dupe
Iya olu, thy words are divine
The milk of experience through which my suckle lips
Drill out knowledge from thy breast helping me
To solve the puzzles of life
I pray you  live long to see thy grand child......

An ode to Ajoke
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Ajoke, the gods has cursed me to
Praise thy beauty
Like a sugar-cane planted at a river-bank
Your beauty is magically comely
Thy phat smile is an epiphany
I wonder the mystery of the water that
Dwell in the Coconut of thy beauty
Let me adore your well-made eyeballs
They are like traps laid in the forest for
Antelopes
Something the mirror won't tell you about
Your dimples is that they give death to death
The village priests said your
smile can be use to appese the gods
Not to invoke their wrath
Something about your dexterous waist
They are like prison guards when dancing
Guilding my hearts.
Ajoke your beauty is an epiphany.

The promise
Drunk poet Oct 2016
I might be able to connect to you
In you yoga,
But I must confess my love for you
Is mega.

I might not be able to sine the world,
But can the sun even shine your world?
Believe me my love will,
It can make your dreams real.

I might not be able to give life,
But even knows you're mine,
Devil fathom you're my wife.

I might not be able to protect you
Like superman,
But your love has made me the batman,
It gives me wings to protect you.

Poverty is vulnerable around us,
I will make you ride on the best horse,
Life is auspicious with us.

I might not be able to take you around the
World,
But you will always have my word.

I promise never to make you cry,
No tears except that of joy,
Will come from your frangipani face,
I know we are many in this race.

I promise to keep my promises,
No blemish on you, from head
To toes,
Dying for you is greatest luxury,
Please accept my manifestos.

Sabotage(2}
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Like a flight of thousands,
Innocents in their innocence,
Through seas and lands,
By our our hands we made them
Pilot.
Conscious and sane,
Whey flew us with hidden plot,
The sky speak to us.

The whom we trust,
Called to serve us,
They made us carry their cross.

Like fortress with self-destruct,
And when it goes, they never go down
With it,
They, they are corrupt!
Channel golds and pearls beneath.

They sabotage our economy,
Made us peasant,
They sabotage you and me!
They want every pleasant.

Unfaithful masters,
I charge of faithful servants,
With their bad characters.

Looting things for their unborn generations,
The have no heart,
Booting our generations,
But will they say after earth?

Father!
My daughter called,
When shall be free?
When will we eat on the
Dining table

Sabotage
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Somewhere between lost and totally lost,
There we became unconscious,
Indeed! Really lost,
Daunt like an evening shadow,
Then my breathe seemed shallow,

But, we poor men in our poverty,
Carried away with ample manifestos,
I objected to that saying,
Very naive like a girl in her puberty,
Who know only how to wash her toes,
On the contrary, she is dying,
So I strife,
Striving in our emaciated life.

Then just like a cow
Led to the abbatotior,
They ruin every sector,
But we were fools in mere ecstacy,
They made us believe colonization was necessary,
But it was a foul,
Now we beg leniency,
Unlike spendthrift of our currency.

Now we cry for antidote,(change)
Disregarding That oat,
But through what doors?
The west?
Perhaps East?
Probably the south?
Or from the graced North?
What doors?

That which no writing could criticized,
No satirical work could correct,
Indeed! The best materialized,
But speaking of the change, what earth?

But pray a calmed storm,
Even after our hypocrisy,
And false democracy,
When will the truth come,
All is well, the mother had told,
But I guess sometimes the truth is best left untold.

Faultless muse
Drunk poet Oct 2016
The gods has blessed me with thee
Ajoke,the only daughter of moremi
Meet me at twilight,
Let the stars gaze at us all night
The sweetness of your lips is
More intoxicating than an in-tact
Palm-wine.
The deities has made you mine
Your beauty is picturesque
My beauteous Ajoke
With a mythic foxy appearance
Even the birds fall into trance
Your beauty is statuesque
Your aesthetic qualities is grand
Blessed with fancible dimples
Your skin is allergic to wrinkles
The space in-between my fingers is
Where yours fit perfectly
Ajoke my faultless muse.

Tears in agony
Drunk poet Sep 2016
I lost myself in time
My eyes became red when
lost to tears
My ink became blood
Living my life in the margin
With many metaphor to prove it
I got my head in the clouds
May the sun shine tomorrow be
The solid proof
May the fresh air from oceans
Establish it
I could see my reflection in the sky
Not to let my doubts go,
May these scars bless me
After all these might be to test me

Tell me friend
Drunk poet Sep 2016
If today be my last
Day on this earth,
The day to give up my soul!
Should I spend it in tears?
Or spend it in joy?

Should I spend my last hours Indoor?
Or spend it among folks?
Should I be in despair?
Or my heart be filled with joy?
Should I  dance and celebrate
The Day I would join the ascenstors?
Tell me friend! How should I spend it?

Life is an irony
Drunk poet Sep 2016
life is an irony,
A place where non-living things tends
To live longer than the living
Life's too short
The dust beneath  your feet today
Might be your roof tomorrow!

Life is a battle field
The survival of the fitest
Then palm wine for the victors
Seven virgins should be waiting,
My soul groans to give in
Am a wounded worrior,  
And my cartridge is empty of bullets!

Alone with everybody
Drunk poet Aug 2016
I seemed to have been a curse
on  this world
For sometimes now, my soul has laid
In darkness
No hope of seeing the light
Even the sun has a hint of Devil in her
I could hear whispers, barely void!
Will this agony ever end?
Hatred did grow, day and night
And I watered it with my tears
I came face to face with my fears
My foes beheld and shine
Am alone friend, and the agony seems
Never ending.

Hopeless soul
Drunk poet Aug 2016
My enemies spread like the branches of tree,
But I manage sometimes to drain Mississippi With a straw
Hatred like burning inferno
Love is a scarcity
Like rain during summer
Tears is a necessity
Like water after meal
Death is an option
Like faith without fate

Treason
Drunk poet Aug 2016
The pathetic woman,
Miserable than a clumsy man,
A widow far as I can reckon,
To her goodness never beckon,
She's without ecstasy,
Her dream turn out to be mere fantasy,
She lost her honor,
Overwhelmed with dolor.

So she seeks several sources and Lords with her heart,
She knew them not, never! Not on earth,
They made her believe all was necessary,
With lots of loads to carry.

She became a congregation,
Sitting helplessly without motion,
As she sobs and sobs with all her mind,
And cry and cry with all the ability she could find.

The church re-echo her petition,
Like a church favorite hymn,
All this seem like a kind of mimickery,
A real hymn,
Her blessings with a lot of imagery.

When my feet moved toward her,
She looks around from her chair,
She must be a widow,
And I was her husband’s shadow,
She seems barren,
Alas! Her son were caged like n hen,

Her husband alleged of treason,
And killed for that reason,
She now left with a hope,
He wish he could at least whisper “cheer up”
She needs a refined hope,
As she will one day drink from my cup.

The call
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The messenger since ages,
He hunted the path of our forefathers,
His call echoes through ages,
Never mind the tears of mothers!
He lies between light and darkness,
Especially when we strive to see the brightness.

If he visits me, how should I entertain him?
Will you morn me?
After I give up my soul to please him,
Will smoke fill the air as dirge from
Your lips?
Will you bury me?
Or only if the vultures spare me?

To my beloved maiden,
Thy sight I wish not so see tears,
To your soul not see Fears,
But to thy garment be black,
Your thumbs hold tight to the candle?
To thy bed you should cuddle.

Liquid songs
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The bell from that church makes me sneer
Barks of those dogs makes remind me of something
Schoolboys arguments thought me something
Concerto from the piano that sleep on the sofa makes me feel lost
The piper's pipe I think of
As these new songs writes my name on the breeze the blows
Reminds me of colourful moments
It reminds me what I am!

The lost boy
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Find me my only chap!
I saw him play with the kaleidoscopes
Right here
He left for the telescope
Over there
I noticed his cap on the sofa!

He must have gone to the playground
He love Rollercoasters!
Where I my only lad?
Did he go to play in the woods?
I stereotype he's lost!

Who will call me mother?
Who will  listen to my folktales
When the moon is out to dance?

Sun please shine!
When my nation cries out!  please wind
******* back to her!

A little chat with my fears
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Speak man, speak up
I have no much time
Tell me why art dou cruel?
You deprived me of her!
You strip of my goals!
Why FEARS? you ain't fair!
He said he is my greatest luxury
Protects me from my worst behavior
Said he improve my thoughts
He challenges my gallantry!
Fears gives me  bravery!

I lost my way to the city
Drunk poet Jul 2016
I should find my way out!
Like a freed bird from a cage!
I need to leave my village,
I should swing my wings up and down,
I should be leaving now!

But I lost my to the city,
My journey into civilization,
Lost in the forest,
Where the songs of birds mock me,
Lost in the desert where my footprint
Laugh at my animalistion!

I lost the grip of my pen
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Loneliness is my companion,
Silence has been an inspiration,
So I sat under that iroko tree,
Me, myself and I making us three!
Devil talks and angels whispers,
I traveled when I vibe,
Oracles murmur, ascenstors watch,
To my beloved Lucy, a woman I believe
To be rare!
The wind blows from my head to the east,
I see beyond Albert  telescope,
But too afraid to write,
Cause I lost my light!
I lost the grip of my pen!
The talks, murmurs and whispers override
My heart and hand! heart,
I became clueless,
I lost my consciousness!

Power of words
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Oh! Jack my good lad,
Know the good and the bad!
Remember the tale I told you,
When you meet the tale in you,
Remember HE!
Don't forget me!
When HE said "let there be"
He that created things,
He made me raise you in peace,
Even when things come to the worst!
But through his words "there was"
The egg that comes from your mouth!
Don't be afraid to spit it out!
God is the word,
And HE is your world!

World War III
Drunk poet Jul 2016
I found the àrókò,
Somewhere around someplace,
Of many weapons.

This must be war,
Could this be Armageddon?
Obviously without surprises,
After the one in the “45”,
This must be the world War three,

I saw nations
Each with her own objects,
Testing like sumptuous meal

Many alliances,
Could this be Armageddon?
Over there must be antichrist,
Is that the sun moving down?

Up there must be the Savior,
Learnt he died on the cross,
Could this be Armageddon?

Could be the chained dragon?
I heard he was let loose,
Let loose from the abyss,

Who are those two?
Look like elijah and moses,
Aren’t they turning their backs?
The Constitution and ruler,

Behind you!
Is that not the two edged sword?
I hope is not facing you and I,

Is that not the beautiful gate,
Are you willing to take the risk?
Do u wish to see the other side of the gate?
Hang on, you must wait,

Aren’t those the elder?
They must have been really old,
Beneath me the flames?
I heard it burns with sulphur,
Am I really talking to you?
Nations will perish,
The world War three!

The white in black
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The white in black


The lightness In the dark,
White in black!
The truth in the untruth,
I see it in your eyes!

The white and black,
In your pale moisture eyes,
A gathering for thick rain,
But I see the love in your heart.

I see the darkness in your eyes,
I see lightness cling to it,
Success in failure,
I see your angel in beast.

I see the hope in your heart,
Think this not as a lie,
Fight it! Yes you can!
Survive it!

Wake up friend
Drunk poet Jul 2016
When you wake up from your slumber,
Dream you then discover,
Your achievements and titles,
Made to sleep without tool

Then you discover you have been dreaming,
Perhaps things that are coming,
The you wake into the hands of someone
Shaking you,
Perhaps hey! It’s time to go to school.

When you discover this life is just a dream,
With bad things making it a nightmare,
Water come for cream,
Just a dream! Just mere,

Then you will cry,
Perhaps to mom that you want to
Skip school,
But tears soon dry,
You must think of what to do,.

Then you would say
Mom send me back to sleep,
But you surely need some lullaby.

Wake up friend,
See this world as a fantasy,
Don’t sleep to the end,
Wake up to reality!

A live you will remember
Drunk poet Jul 2016
We believe life is a journey,
A journey with or without a destination,
So many questions about the meaning,
But no answers,
Not while you’re still breathing

Life is too short,
You either be gone today or tomorrow,
Finding ways,
So shake away your sorrow,

But life can’t explore,
It’s because you only explore the possibilities,
And life is the impossibility,
You must be ready to explore it,

Live a life you will remember,
You will either be a mother or a father,
That life that will make you smile,
Wherever you would find yourself,
A life you would remember with a smile
Over achievements,
Start now!

That night
Drunk poet Jul 2016
With your charming smile on,
In that gown hung there,
Lovemonger’s work done,
hatred made mere.

That day, full of beauty,
Ceremony and ovations,
For your pride and dignity,
And I was full with emotion.

You enamored with me,
And I with thee,
Head over heels,
You understood how I felt and feels.

With ecstasy dark cloud,
Beneath the pouring rain,
And farewell to be made a woman,
Without duress or pain,
Forever my woman and I thy man
Drunk poet Jul 2016
When a pet is in love with a poetess
They both play the villain,
He be the mister and she be
The mistress.

They whisper in one language,
That they both fathom,
Nothing new!  Not even their thoughts!

There seems to be laconic of words,
They see each other flaws,
He engage more in thinking,
How would she be impressed?
Who will be the hero?
Am I love with a poetess!
Tell me friend, how would I impress her?

Ladies and their ego
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Pour me some glass of whiskey,
Oh! Pleases I need it iced,
Yes ma'am he said.

Miss Lucy a lady in her
Early twenties,
My heart is clean!
Never thought of you without your *******!
But miss you're quite mean!

I am common gentleman,
Why such ego?
Is it because am a Blackman?
Let go of this ego,
Isn't it yet  time for our first kiss?
Spare me this ego please!

I heard Mr George jilted you,
I might be the right one,
Prof Harbert called you a *****,
That's not the right one!
Miss you are a lady,
Let me treat you as one!

Do you remember?
Drunk poet Jul 2016
When I couldn’t help Stalking you,
On that narrow path that leads to the stream,
Full of dry leaves that your feet would rustle them,
Do you remember?
Sure you must have forgotten,
When we ran into each other,
You poured the grind tomatoes on
On my linen,
I nearly broke my mama’s jar,
Then you smiled.

The well at the backyard of your mom’s
House made it easier,
Always seems to be a date,
Do you remember our first hug?
We were both nervous,

The time I helped you with your backpack,
Leaving a trail of good tidings,
Do you remember the series and
Collection of poems?
I mean the romantic ones,
Like the one I wrote you last night,
When the candles went off?
Do you still remember the last stanza?
Using the vocals I learnt from my
Favourite English teacher,
They weren’t left out in my scheme of love,

Do you still remember?
Your sister, she hated me,
She even pour water on me,
From that bowl over there.

Now do you remember why am
Remembering you?
Because you told me my
Fishermen was unlucky,
Unlucky enough to catch you,
Today am placing your head drink,
On your papa’s table.

A better chance
Drunk poet Jul 2016
When testimonies are left out,
And you sing in distress,
Your hope and fate worn out,
With a sarcastic smile around folks,
Your worries like a cloud of smokes,
You wanted to touch the best.

Thick drop of rain from your eyes,
As your happiness dies,
Eyeballs dancing in moisture field,
Your soul in distress where she hid.

Thick drop of rain in your eyes,
Oozed out due to sympathizes,
Then you Think nature has turn against you,
The world too big for you,
Or perhaps only when the sky is blue,
Who is that pilot? your pilot, you don’t know who.

The rays and beams of the sun seems unfriendly,
Smiles on other folks seems deadly,
The world is too complicated for you.

After your tears on hard to rocks,
Your cries and your sober reflection,
The Sowers grain fell on my Palms,
You claimed blessings, even psalms,
Where is your opportunity,
Are you not a liability?

You pray for a better chance,
Cause He once path way in the sea,
And yours? Or can’t you see?
You shall have that breakthrough,
And you shall dance!

The burnt pages
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The rhythm of the burnt pages,
Of the diary of life with no wages,
Pages of old memories,
That you may consider as stories,
Which sometimes ooz tears out of me
That which I wish u knew.

The rhythm of the smokes of the diary,
That which makes me weary,
Putting in you in a dilemma,
A sophisticated dilemma.

Pages that makes me smile suddenly,
But in the aftermath, resulting in a cry,
Then I sit solely,
My tears has not dry,

I might have cried ruining my make up,
Pages in that needs to be burnt,
That which I write every morning when I wake up,
Memories I can't erase, pages that will remain burnt.

Whisper voice
Drunk poet Jul 2016
I could hear it, it a voice calling my name,
It was soft and it sound so lame,
So lovely, dancing In my heart like flame,
I looked around, thinking it was my sister Jane,
I now noticed it was whispering to my heart,
I was calm, so I remove my hat,
Soft like that of a cat,
I was on my mat lying down flat.

I saw myself where I couldn't comprehend,
There comes a long shadows with no end,
I looked up and saw Lucy whom I LOVE,
She was lonely, and she needed my words.

I woke up from my deep slumber,
All the puzzles in my heart was answered by her,
Children are unborn, I want her be their mother.

Dreams come true with her,
We laughed to each other with kisses,
Living happily with no hisses.

Heartbreak
Drunk poet Jul 2016
It was an heartbreak,
It was like an earthquake,
That which I ponder on day after day,
No more smiling, no more play together in the hay.

My aim of loving turns nothing,
Our future turns dim,
My feelings turns dim,
But am still breathing.

I am sober,
Recapturing my past,
The withered flower,
Iron remains cast,
So pathetic,
That love did not last,
I love you that's why am emphatic.

Feelings that can't be measured,
You were the diamond I treasured,
Life without you is would be solitary,
For now, it doesn't change anything, feelings unnecessary.

The great lightning
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The clouds were covered with darkness,
The thunder strikes hard with no kindness,
There comes a great lightning,
People said it was made so by God almighty,

It strikes hard like a renew sword,
I wish I could stop it with my with my words,
Fear encamped me on my bed made of muds,
I was a stick and couldn't move,

It sounds so awful like an empty drum,
It was horrible affecting my ear drum,
It rained like the the time of Noah,
We wish we won't hope for more.

I finally took my linen that is almost torn,
We became friends on the floor,
The I realize that is almost late,
That day was superb and great.

Your beauty is delusive
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Ajoke, daughter of moremi,
Beauty is a predicament in your lineage,
Your beauty bring out star at night,
Stars even told the Wisemen about it.

The beauty that runs in your blood,
Mama kola makes a lot of profit at dawn,
When men gathered to drink and speak of
Your beauty.
Each making a bet to have you.


Ajoke, your ęwa(beauty)  is angelic,
Your tiny voice is mellific,
Your dimples is intoxicatic,
Your ostrich legs so charismatic.

But your beauty is delusive,
Think not that a derisive,
I must be Ilucinating!
Stop appearing in my dreams,
Come to my reality!

Faded love
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Time and space against us,
We lost friction that hold us,
Like salt that lost its taste,
Our emotions decline in haste,
Lucifer was casted down,
Just like my emotion drown,
I groan in my heart,
I cried and my tear filled the earth,
My tears wet ***** and Gomorrah
So they bring out fresh flowers,
Good bye love in farewell,
Move on and be well.

The tempest
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Hoping to get to the volcano over there,
The volcano of truth!
The Mariners at work
And merry unceased,
I also fell in love in the middle of Titanic.


The crew seem not to worry,
But our creel fell!
We still aim at the verdant volcano,
A strange movement of sharks,
The vultures be the losers?
Then a sudden movement of wind,
The Mariners and master unrest,
Tabled emptied of hands,
Only left with cup of beers,
Time for valedictory speech!

The tempest against our nation,
Fighting our culture,
The volcano in our fantasy,
The truth that is afraid to show forth,
So we died In failure!

Ordinary people
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The low oriented ones,
The visionless bones,
Ignorant to every innovation of life,
They are ordinary with foolish as a wife.

They with no self esteem,
Their future ugly and dim,
They always to be there,
But no one cares!

Tear drops full up basket,
They wish to be high like rocket,
they  lost hope and liberty,
They can't face reality!

My nightmare
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Father I want to you something rare,
No father!  Not the beauty I beheld yesterday,
Nor the sweetness of her lips,
Father not the dexterous touch of her hips,
Listen father, please care,
Father I had a nightmare,
Not a masquerade chasing me,
Look my mouth! No sign of amala!
Father out you should hear me.

Father it's my homeland,
The land of my forefathers,
She was helpless,
Couldn't find help, not even by
Our Fathers,
She  restless and careless.
Father my County is dying!
And moses shook his head In disapproval,
Father you are the country.

This land is slippery
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Like cautious mellipede
I walk,
Not daunted to touch the best,
But this land is slippery.

Like fastidious Hunter
I walk,
Not Falling into the ambush I laid
For antelopes,
Because the land is slippery.

Like a cautious blind old man
I walk,
Not letting go of my rod like Moses,
Because the land is slippery.

I walk in the night like night,
On watch like a king's Knight,
Because the land is slippery.

Stalemate
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Alluring in nature,
Appalling in culture,
Vast in knowledge,
What a rare privilege!

Rapid in growth,
Seem to have kept to that oath,
An island for cultures,
And food for vultures.

The leg that walk us home
Forgot our treasures in Rome,
The second chance that
Begins at the third,
Rose again from mud.

A place away not beyond,
Proud to be called home,
Now there seems to be a lot to go,
My country,
So we cross the boundary.

Broken beyond repair
Drunk poet Jul 2016
She is like young damsel,
Heart broken by her first love,
She is in hell,
She has no heart to love.

My country,
Believed to be the giant among
Others,
Our state is backed by necromancy,

In the first year,
Their love was limitless,
She was always  there,
Now her tears is countless

Living under the nihilist,
They ululate,
No optimist,
They are unable to communicate.

Then their umplist blows us aways,
And we both become unasinous,
The revolution has no way,
The plight is continuous.

My country where people pray,
In their emaciated voice,
Caused by our rulers day after day.

Nigeria is my country,
And am a nigerian,
Our nationalism has real entry,
The wind enhance by their fan.

We are broken beyond repair,
And they don’t really care,
We are in pain,
And they have no say!

The cheerleader
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The cheerleader,
Hearts goes to the highest bidder,
An encapsulation of beauty,
She has the license of beauty,
She elucidated my vague and indistinct dreams,
Her voice is mellifluous in my dreams.

Cheerleader is unaccustomed to mundane.
Her admiration full of gains,
Bloomleader is unprofane damsel,
She is immaculate even in tunnels.

Cheerleader is like an epiphany,
Enternity with her? Not still many,
The charm in her face us very potent,
My reasons are arrantly cogent,
Her presence chastise dolor,
Laughter with charismatic colour,
And as the emotion creeps on me,
Making me a sycophants to her knee,

The Cheerleader,
Her love is not a treacherous swine,
Her lips is exquisite than any wine,
Though is infatuation sound very lame,
My heart adores her with fame,
A pragmatic way to study her frangipani face,
I want to be the first in this race,

The cheerleader,
She with crystal teeth
And blue eye *****,
I see her climbing on walls,
Auspicious love without any wit,
I realize I was only in a dream.

My old diary
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Under that palm tree,
We once laughed at lazy farmers,
Across that path we were made novice lovers,
Then you smiled,
You knew, I knew what you meant,
Right there we once danced in the rain,
Smile days after days,
Beneath that Carriage we first made love,
But its over, and forgotten,
Like a stone at the bottom of the ocean,
We left dager in our biased heart,
Sort of two stones thrown I different directions,
Everyday owing each moment, that I have vividly imagine,
Pictured place perfectly in my heart,
My old diary of great mystery,
Mysteries we fathomed,
Seemed to be fantasy and shield phantom,
You reveled to me,
My old brown dairy you gave me,
All pages up here In my memory,
With a golden ribbon

Please colonize us again
Drunk poet Jul 2016
My country Nigeria,
Am a citizen by birth,
That’s the Criteria,
A blessed nation on the earth,
Driven by atrocities as bacteria,
A place I was proud to call home,
Am a negros and Nigeria is my home,
But she’s going down the pan,
Causing mortality in my clan.
Due to manifestos,
We commercialize with hoes.

It started with our independence,
We thought love would take
Prominence,
But rather war, corruption and coups,
And Tribalism feed on us


My plea goes to the world power,
Our corruption is taller than any tower,
Our leader convince us that colonization
Was necessary,
Seems we we have cross that boundary.

Please colonize us again,
Because decolonization has no gain,
Remove all these leaders,
The made us cry aloud to mothers.

I admit we weren’t ripe,
We just wanted to be free,
Like the smoke from papa’s pipe,
Please colonize us! At least
Of these situations we shall be free!

Her eyes blinded mine
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Could she be among the fallen angels?
A young lady, likely to be a girl,
That which I can not qualify,
Away and beyond all because of her.

She is an epitome of beauty,
A very good source of writing in literature,
That which could face reality,
Adorable, even to the immature.

I had a clear chance, so I moved close,
And the more fascinating,
It was unhatched egg, my heart being enclose,
Her smile very charming,

My heart now skips to beat,
My eye couldn’t see,
I couldn’t move my feet,
Cause her eye has blinded mine

Dear mother
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Dear mother,
I hope you are reading this letter,
I hope it met you in joy,
I would I have tell these,
But I was too coy.

For all the time that you
Made me feel strong,
Even I when angrily broke your
Favourite mug.

Mother,
Many things you faced
Because of me,
So that in the aftermath
I shall be free.

Mother I remember,
Usually during December,
Making efforts to get me the best,
Mama would never rest.

Dear mother,
You seems to always protect my interest,
Interest around father,
We all wanted the best.

You once asked me
To be a good lad,
And not to keep company with
Boys you told were bad!
Mother will never starve me.

Do you remember when you lock
Me indoors?
Compelling me to have no flaws.

Mother would cover me during thunderstorm,
Kissing me and seal my sleep,
Covering my legs against every storm.

Thank you for piloting me,
To life and to a good life,
Mama pray I have good wife,
Not neglecting things you gave thought me
