HONEST BALLOT.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Hahahahaha! They say collect the money,
But vote your conscience, what conscience?!
In the land of poverty and honey,
Hehehehehehe! What conscience?

DAD! I'M A GROWN GIRL!
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
But I made it past nineteen!
No boyfriends, or unwanted pregnancies!
Now, allow me beyond where you have been!
Let me take my own chances!

BUSINESS FOR THE GODS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015

For the protection of what?
Are they now impotent?
The unseen beings in the heavens?

CHANGE, THE MORE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Many odd years,
The same salty tears,
Nothing ever transforms,
Even with several reforms.

MUDDY CAMPAIGNS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Oh, well, here we go,
You call one clueless, coconut head,
And the other cannot remember his phone number,
Oh, politics, what a ****** game!

ON MY KNEES DOST I PRAY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
My heart yearns for thee,
Oh, my lady of verses,
Take me in our warm caresses,
Now, lest my feet doth flee,

I find in thee passion,
A burning desire,
Ten times stronger than the most potent love potion,
It consumes my heart and sets me afire;

Praying, I beg thee my lady,
Deny me not for this is beautiful,
It is intoxicating like fine brandy,
Take it away, then fall I, badly, into dark sorrow's pool.

JOY LOBO (Part 1)

UNSPOKEN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
We speak without words,
Talk without saying anything,
We fight without swords,
Yet we are our everything.

OUT THERE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Been on this road before,
Cobbles of thirst and hunger,
Loose bonds desperately insecure;

The lone ranger make his home,
Wherever his burdens roam,
Tears and sorrow are his head rest;

His next meal is unsure,
So stops by a bread store,
Drinks in the sweet aroma;

He looks sadly at the moon,
Crickets joyfully chirp away,
And this ends another miserable day.
Jan 2015 · 216
ONLY ONE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Wrap your heart around me,
Embrace me with your soul,
Let all tongues see that you own me,
From head's hair, to feet's sole.

Unite those preferences,
Form a mould of unity,

INEQUALITY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Life's double standards,
The weak achieve greatness,
And I get served innards,
Working the city's rotten vastness.

INSURGENCE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Leathery vermins,
All over the place,
Smelly rotens,
Invading my bachelor space.

RED CORNER.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Tension, in my *****,
Caught a whiff of you,
****! What;s a man to do?
And here, no gold coins.

ETERNAL WISHES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
If I had my way,
And fate, not any say,
Our daughters would have your eyes,
And every night, not cold as ice.

IN THE NAME OF...
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Soaked in crimson,
I lay lifeless, shattered and cold,
I kissed my wife this morning,
But at sundown she is mourning.
Jan 2015 · 212
WHAT KIND?
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Said she, die I today,
No husband to weep for me,
No children to wail over me,
But is this love anyway?
Sometimes methinks love is such a wonderfully cloaked selfish emotion.

TEMPTATIONS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Hard to keep my eyes away,
From the voluptuousness strutting the streets,
*** in stilettos and tight pants,
Rouge lips and screaming cleavages.

SMART RETARD.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015

Talkin' from the rear end,
Mirrors fools quippin',
With grey matter drippin'.

FEAR OUTSIDE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Dark fright,
Night dripping blood,
Jesters howling in delight,
Devils slobbering in one accord.
Jan 2015 · 220
FEAR INSIDE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Dry in the mouth,
Chest thumping,
Palms dripping,
Confidence heading south.

THE FRUSTRATED MIDDLE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
That moist thatch of loneliness,
Buried between sadness,
Begs for warm fondness,
And a generous dose of roughness.
Jan 2015 · 337
DUMB KEYS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Punch, click, click, punch,
Hit away your frustrations,
You get a zillion mentions,
But never a sensible crunch.
Jan 2015 · 424
PURGE THINE SELF.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
A dozen laxatives,
To flush your stupidity,
And no sedatives,
To ease your depravity.

PULPIT BULLSHIT.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
The very reverend bigot,
Shamelessly oblique crackpot,
Says one thing in the light,
And does another at night;
Jan 2015 · 209
END THIS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
What I feel is wrong,
Like I want to end this,
And I am not strong,
But still, I want to end this.
Jan 2015 · 708
REVENGE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Is who you are,
When the world turns cold,
And without remorse,
You serve with steely cadence;

Nothing to lose,
The die is cast in blood,
The shadows bleed crimson,
And the light is as dark as night;

Only one can stop,
This ominous fiend,
The being in himself,
His conscience when sated.

TOWARD CENTRE
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2014
I have become unhappy,
Middle age and a bald head,
Every spark is now unamusing,
Like the sombre road I walk every night.

THIS HOLIDAY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2014
Every cell bursting with joy,
These feet can not stop dancing,
Did not get one toy,
But will not stop singing.

GIVE CRIMSON.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2014
This red gold you own,
Freely give to save a life,
Across race or creed,
It unites every one human and every being.
Donated blood for the first time a few weeks back and felt absolutely good about it. Will not stop living right so I can continue donating OK.

SHE TIGER.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2014
Didn't take anything,
That didn't belong to her,
She never struggled to get into trouble,
It was her natural endowment.

HOPELESS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2014
I have frolicked among the ashes,
And I have kissed the bottom of disgust,
Poverty has adorned my back,
And wretchedness become my close companion;

Deserted by goodwill,
I am destitute,
In the ruins of failure,
Fate has left me no joy;

The sun rises upon my defeat,
And sets on my immense sorrow,
Daily I wallow in agony,
Drown I, in cheerless wantonness;

Tattered dreams inflicted my senses,
They rob me of sleep,
I lay awake, trembling,
Fearful of the shameful morning.

HAIRLESS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2014
This bald man stares at me,
In the mirror across the room,
He had dreadlocks at seven,
A full haired Nazarene.

UNCLEAR.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2014
I doubt myself,
Many times unsure,
Would I make that impact,
Or be forgotten like I never came?
Nov 2014 · 225
MOVE ON.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2014
Will hell freeze over if I left you,
Or the heavens fall?
Would time never stroke the hour,
If I said my last goodbye?

SUNSHINE BLUES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2014
Money, fast cars and women,
A good appetite to the dozen,
All these don't make my team,
It's simply because you're my dream;

Make it come true,
I'll give you a clue,
Be my sun-screen,
Then I'll rub you all over, my beauty queen.
Oct 2014 · 360
MISDIRECTION.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2014
Constantly you set me tests,
And everytime I ask, why?
Tongue in cheek,
You keep me in the dark;

You reach out into my past,
To ignite dead flames,
To stoke old affections,
And dig up buried affairs;

This box of trouble,
Pray I, you can handle,
These entities are powerful,
Relentless, they stop at nothing;

Once upon a season,
I made a wrong turn,
It is the same road,
And the portends have not changed.
Oct 2014 · 335
THE BROAD.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2014
Hips that glorify the heavens,
And a smile that wakes up the dead,
They tempt me, when your lips are red,
And your scent leaves me in sixes and sevens.
Oct 2014 · 360
PERCEPTION SHIFT.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2014
The eyes drink,
Even before we think,
Then we go on and cheat,
Because we are caught in a bogus cleat.

PLAN ZERO
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Before anything works,
I take out the locks,
Lay out the blue lines,
And **** all the cursed designs.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Fear befriends me,
Wraps me in blind embrace,
In the stillness of space,
Harmony is all I see.

AUDACIOUS MENDACITY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
With bags of gratification,.
We sell to them four years,
And live through the pain and tears,
Not learning, we go through the motion.
Sep 2014 · 768
MENDACIOUS AUDACITY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Comes to them naturally,
And we gobble ever so stupidly,
Every four years, this tradition,
Carries on without emotion.
Sep 2014 · 299
THE BLIND EYE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
All is black,
In abundance or lack,
With deliberate oversight,
We step around that impending fight.
Sep 2014 · 350
THE POT AND THE BASKET.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
In times of harvest,
Or long periods of arid rest,
Each to its season,
To be engaged, and with plenty of reason.
Sep 2014 · 401
AHH...MAZING.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Has beautiful another description?
Doth thine form require new naming?
Such magical framing,
Graceful, sublime, in fluid motion.

GHOST OF INSURGENCY FUTURE
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Will he arise, another,
To give us a bother?
Will he, now,  be stronger,
And fearlessly move across the border?
Sep 2014 · 689
GHOST OF INSURGENCY PRESENT
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Aye! A look alike?
Such fearsome semblance,
He boasts untamed advance,
Daring a counter strike.
Sep 2014 · 505
GHOST OF INSURGENCY PAST
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
He shook the leaves vigorously,
Threatening vengeance and blood,
They had riddled his master callously,
And now they would pay with tidal crimson flood.
