This, and not, that,
Friend, girlfriend,
Fated, that is what,
Intertwined until the very end.
Met Adeola on May 27, 2012.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2014
The wilderness beckons,
I go to be  tempted by demons,
Your love will keep me,
As I journey across the desert and sea.
She kissed me 47 times, each one for everyday, we will be apart.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2019
The thousandth but one,
On this journey of four lines,
And although I'm not done,
I rest, a while, from the scribbling climes.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Annoying shmoo rats,
Squeaking noisily out in the yard,
Wish I'd a tom to stand guard,
But I hear they're fearless, even of old, and grouchy cats.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Chasing tattoos, dreadlocks and bling,
These ones don't know a thing!
They take life at the pull!
Of a trigger meant to protect all!

Dregs of the force, idiotic,
Drunken, high on narcotic,
Dressing inordinately, oozing,
Dreadfully unamusing,

They create a ****** mess,
Harbingers of sadness,
Candidates of the hottest parts of hell,
Deserving, one and all, the same horror they constantly sell.
Enough to make any sane mind livid! They have killed another innocent young Nigerian, again! The Nigerian Police Force is a terrible security agency that has demonic officers up and down its rank and file. Infamous units created to fight armed robbers have become roving task masters shaking down anyone that looks good or dressed fly. Arbitrary killing, torturing or maiming hapless people is their stock in trade and nobody from the president of that country to governors of states across the federation have said or done anything tangible to put a permanent reign on the bloodsuckers. The unsettling peace of the graveyard may just indicate a ****** revolution around the corner. INEVITABLE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2019
Here we are,
Living within our horizon,
Oblivious of the beyond things,
Images startling to the senses;

And opportunity meets resources,
Things fall into place,
Aboard the wings an eagle,
Off to see the things beyond.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
And when the demons,
From your unlikeable past;

Drink sodas and lemons,
With your present cast;

Know ye that time calls upon thee,
To make peace your cup of tea.

Wrapped in oils and fragrance,
He had no chance,
Fooled by love's blindness,
His one and only weakness.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2019
A group of morons,
Weilding all sorts,
Chased the lot,
Men, women, old ones;

Threatened blood if they thumbed,
Even killed a few to make true,
Burned their timid decisions,
And dared any opposition;

Cowered into submission,
They handed over their sovereignty,
Resigned to generational servitude,
And an unending cyclical incompetence.
Nigerians, the ones able to think straight, although weak to make any kind of change, wonder when they will be saved from the claws of oppression and who will save them? TOUGH LUCK.

Soothe me with affection,
Caress my soul,
Worship me with connection,
From my hair's strand…to my feet's sole.

Luscious red,
Breaks me into some sweat,
Oh, no, she's not a threat,
More than...she's a hot, **** thoroughbred.

Seated in a half circle,
Around their recycled leader
Men and women of ignominious calibre,
Ruminating over matters of state;

Out of touch minds,
Ancient recluse,
Trapped in stone age idiosyncrasies,
Blind to present shifting paradigm;

Six decades of backwardness,
Circular movement without advancement,
Left behind by peers,
Now poverty capital of the world.
Nigeria boasts of professors aplenty but nothing tangible to show in terms of development.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
So many brilliant idiots,
In the hand of one fool,
They drive his oppressive chariots,
And become his hunger tool.
Nigeria is blessed with many professors but cursed with so much backwardness. SHAME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2020
An enemy,
Undiscovered,
A shadow in the wings,
Waiting to know you.
Many times we perceive reality wrongly.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
No oils, no reds or monounsaturated fat,
Lean everything, nothing but water,
But death's bike couldn't bother,
Running you over right outside your flat.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2015
Thine eyes found me,
When life hath nought for me,
Thine love gave me hope,
When I could not cope.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Poverty capital of the entire world,
Terrorist haven, sadness lives there,
Blessed with looters in high places,
In that clone, there is no cheer.
It breaks the heart to see so much potential go to waste in a place thoroughly ***** of anything uplifting. Entire generations given to violence as means of survival. Cyclical pilfering of commonwealth by the lineages of the same vagabonds that put progress in chains since before Independence. Nigeria has become the scorn of the cosmos, a reproach to the galaxy and utter disappointment to the universe. SHAME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
The beast taketh were it hath not tilleth,
And by force establishes his colonies,
He set his eyes on southern territories,
And will drink and bathe in the bloods of dogs and baboons that he killeth.
It seems a calculated ploy to  recolonise southern parts of Nigeria with foreign elements takes on adaptive colorations as the agenda takes on several different identities. The latest is Rugs. SHAME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2020
The people have been plundered,
And their wealth wickedly squandered,
But the people have not the heart,
Even, to demand a little, for a start.
Nigerians are the most docile creatures on planet earth, they take everything from a hard life to a hard death.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Has beautiful another description?
Doth thine form require new naming?
Such magical framing,
Graceful, sublime, in fluid motion.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2020
A welcoming warmth during cold,
A place where love w'll hold,
A cool bide in the day's heat,
A beautiful place for refreshing retreat.
We all need this.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2014
Dost thine heart palpitate,
At the sight of me?
Wilt thine congregate,
Where the land meets the sea?
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2018
When I try to articulate,
Desperately trying not to gesticulate,
So I pause, step back, and calculate,
Thinking, if It were better, I recalibrate.
The 2019 general elections in Nigeria will end in a two-horse race between the incumbent and a former vice President: the former is perceived to be frugal, the latter extremely benevolent. Interesting.

Thinks he's all that,
Best thing after belly fat,
But he's no better than breaking wind,
Smelly business of the awful kind.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Clad in me best attire,
Of the finest spun wool,
Dressed in nothing to inspire,
Nothing but a golden fool.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2020
Come, to those that wait,
Hear me, consider fate,
If, truly, you have faith,
Work, quickly, before it's too late.
The grave hosts a lot of unaccomplished waiters.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Abide with me, my pretty one,
Give breath, to my dying soul,
This pain is taking its toll,
For I fear, the grave, will shut out the sun.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2020
I looked forward with great expectation,
In anticipation I dreamt,
For months I put shoulder to the wheel,
My heart ached long;

At last, it's here, can feel it all around,
The season of love,
The season of sharing,
Surrounded by fluffy whites;

But alas! A big blow,
Oh, what a way to shatter,
A memorable affair,
Together, with the one and only;

This silent killer,
Life taker,
Dream murderer,
Virus from the pit of hell;

Forced to stay indoors,
Away from love or friendship,
Conversing with the inanimate,
Same routine day and night;

Video calls only go that far,
They don't show beyond the edges,
How do I know, for real,
That you, also, are there alone?

Come away, Coronavirus!
Leave, now, so I can be,
With the one that I love,
Hurry, be on your way!

The good ones have been taken,
The pretty ones don't want me,
As far as I can see,
No better off than forsaken.

Boyfriend, husband, father,
Bae, hubby, daddy,
You may call me freddie,
To me one and to them the other.

She’s not beautiful,
But can take your breath away,
Her smile may not be that wonderful,
But she’ll have your heart any day.

From behind, not inspiring,
Full frontal equally disgusting,
Breaking the hearts of many,
Booking shows less than funny.

I lied, every time,
I mentioned some words,
To you, a constant rhyme,
They're true, two edged swords.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
My eyes are open,
But do not see,
This path's not unfamiliar to me,
It's the one I've chosen;

My mind's shut to many things,
Those that naturally appeal to me,
The freshness dawn brings,
The time I spend under the shady mango tree;

But today, I stopped,
To drink in the ambiance,
To gaze upon hedges beautifully cropped,
Basking in the moment I found by chance;

There, I said a prayer,
Of thanksgiving to the heavens above,
To the Alpha and Omega,
For these great gifts of life...and of love.
Those rare moments to really stop...to feel.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
The sun shines on my emotions,
Having gone through your dark tribulations,
Everything meaningful became useless,
But it all made sense, this avoidable mess.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
And when my love floats away,
Be the string to reel me in,
These moments are hot air anyway,
Human nature, wanting something, unseen.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
Out of this life,
From this existence,
An a amazing wife,
Husband without pretence?

What exactly are we looking for,
Those things we constantly pray about,
That we never fall poor,
Or comfort doesn't kick us out?

Stop to look at the heavens,
And whatever's beneath them,
The vastness of the oceans,
Gold, silver, and every other gem,

For whatsoever a man sows,
That he reaps and not another,
Therefore settle all your vows,
And be at peace with your brother.
The Kingdom of GOD is at hand. SELAH.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2019
Moving forward,
While about faced,
A lot of motion,
Without any displacement;

Those who have been,
Still are,
The ones that want to,
Cannot;

A chorus unhappiness,
Few smiley faces,
With stomach full of hunger,
Praying for better times.
Many Nigerians are okay with 'managing' hard times. Those who are not, are too afraid to make the sacrifices - waiting endlessly for their messiah.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
We have no right,
To question God,
Because He has nothing to answer,
For the evil that we have committed.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2013
But considering Solstices and Equinoxes,
Life can be full of paradoxes,
The future left in the past,
Or time, a function, of dies cast.

Can of worms,
Pandora's box,
Spill the beans,
***** linen.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2020
There's no time than now,
That this country needs a rebirth,
All of the old must die,
To give life to a new beginning;

We just cannot continue like this,
Those dinosaurs have caused enough harm,
They've destroyed well enough,
Turned a bad situation irreversibly worse;

Thus a decaying of all the old ways,
An accelerated putting to death,
All religious bigoted acts of stupidity,
Tribal or ethnic jingoistic anomie;

A nation is coloured by its leader,
Unfortunate if such were defined,
By the idiosyncrasies of religious,
Or backward ethnosocial beliefs;

We are were we are,
Where we're not well,
Wherein we were,
Whereas were we where;

Thus it makes sense to gather,
The lot of these analogue invertebrates,
Offer them a life in exile somewhere,
Where the sun will never shine.
Nigeria must do away with the crop that defined it's sixty-year existence, for it is clear they cannot be part of the next sixty.

Let them that have any sense at all, reason.

Given the things we see during this global COVID19 pandemic local response, it is vivid, even to the visual impaired that the people unfortunate to be at the helm font have a clue.

The year twenty-twenty is a defining curve. Where we to miss redrawing our fate, then all has been lost.

She walked in,
With perfect love handles,
And voluptuous chest bundles,
Oh, where have you been?!
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2020
Hear thou me, tonight, oh Lord,
From the innermost of my recesses,
Give I unto thee, many thanks,
For preserving my life;

For with shalt I have mentioned,
Thy ever loving goodness,
In the less warmly hole of the grave,
Being pleasant food for termite and maggot?

Thus I lift my heart into thee,
As I look ahead unto forty,
Your mercies are supreme,
And I say thou alone art magnificent.
Tonight would have been the last for me if the Lord hadn't guided my vehicle to a safe place as the front right wheel came off..after doing 100km/hr on the highway for over 100km on my way from work tonight. PRAISE!
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
What if the world is ended,
And we are condemned,
To suffer trials and tribulations,
And the warring of many nations?
End of the world.

If I had it on a platter of gold,
And never knew how much it was sold,
Then can I make bold,
My blue voice, in, the common fold?
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2013
And eventually you find it,
But give all of what you are,
The gods have given you a gift,
At least guard it like you truly care.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
With you life takes on newer meanings,
Without you, no more...just empty feelings,
Glad Cupid shot me,
And again, with no one else, would I rather be.

Beaneath the rubble of King's landing,
Lay the ambitions of a queen,
Burned by the unburnt,
She flew in fiery rage.
