Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Drop your wings,
I need you here,
Heaven may care,
But I have our rings.
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.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2018
The lovelessness breaks the heart,
The outpouring of hatred among The People of State,
The bequeathing of sadness to the generations,
The unwillingness to take a different turn.
Human life is worth no more than pulling grass off the side of the road in Nigeria. Hospitals have become death centres. Doctors and Nurses do not care. Old and young die with reckless abandon. People pay through their noses for their own death
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
The brash, uncouth, and verbally nauseating,
Evidentially disturbing scenes unfit for existence,
Unbeknownst to the vagabond in power,
His sons haven't gone unnoticed, this time.
A Nigerian Senator, the youngest ever to be elected, is caught on camera inside a *** shop days before swearing-in, assaulting a woman, using excessive force while ordering his armed police orderly to effect an arrest on the battered lady.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2018
Come, have a taste of my difficult life,
Daily I dine on poverty and strife,
My pockets are filled with nothing,
And the harsh cold stiffens everything;

But you sit on the rock,
Ride all day in a cool truck,
Surrounded by linen and fine gold,
And never afraid to grow old;

Deaf to all my frustrations and agony;
Never acknowledging my tearful testimony,
Blind to all my sorrows,
Waiting until I am no better than scarecrows.
The elite ruling class of the Nigerian society pretend all is well form the cosy recesses of the state house, feeding fat off the hardship of the masses...sad
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
Moodle foodle woodle,
Toodle roodle poodle,
Noodle boodle hoodle,
Loodle yoodle zoodle.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2018
Green fatigues too ****** out to even care,
They turn the other way as the people of state are put to knife,
Lazy infantry men without conscience,
Only available to do the bidding of that crazy old geriatric in the rock.
Everyday the mid section of Nigeria is wet with the blood of the innocent and the government pretends not to know what's going on around the food basket of the country...sad.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2018
But the rats still give a fuss,
Vermins in defiant show of force,
Too fat to lift a paw,
Did you manicure that claw?
Despite the deployment of troops to the Middle Belt North Central region of Nigeria, fulani herdsmen invade, destroy farmlands, spill the blood of the people there.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
But the rats still give a fuss,
Vermin in defiant show of force,
Too fat to lift a claw,
Did you manicure that paw?
The Nigerian security agencies are in the habit of tagging their intervention operations in the most colourful ways. But hardly produce results akin to these appellations.  SHAME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
The downtrodden have awakened,
They fear only that they awoke too late,
They have fixed a revolutionary date,
The day their oppressor's noose must be slackened.
Nigerians move to the streets in August 5 2019 in days of rage to force a revolutionary change in the way things have been. POWER OF THE PEOPLE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2019
Everything in its place,
In this peaceful space,
Being here by special grace,
Something no devil can ever replace.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2016
Destitute from birth,
They grow to embrace death,
With nothing worth living for,
They take terror on a daily tour.
Boko Haram - western education is evil - is a terrorist group that has killed over 30,000 people across Nigeria since 2009. Over 10,000,000 children of school age between 5 - 19 are almajiri - street children - in the north of Nigeria.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
Please, don't pity me,
Yours is more precarious,
Yes, love dealt me a huge blow,
But removed the magic in your awesome glow.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
What’s more depressing than darkness,
More shameful than a golden fool,
As hopeless as a castrated bull,
As frustrating, as a stalemate, in chess?
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2020
In the cold of loneliness,
I have suffered neglect,
Dislocated from your love,
Everything has become misaligned.
No love, more problem.
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.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2018
The devil died in my arms last night,
She gave up without a fight,
I had lived with sweaty fright,
Always melting into something light.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
Just a little would do,
No need to o'erdo,
I am no ******,
Love gently, easy on the hairdo.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
It is in the nature of the firmament,
TO pour rain upon the face of the earth,
Should we then blame heaven's government,
For the flood that caused my brother's death?
Many road in Nigeria have been abandoned by government at all levels.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2013
What has love got to do?
Who needs all the drama,
When the script can be torn up?
Leaving you cold, and miserable, at the bus stop.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2018
Owo epo ni ara'ye n ba en la,
Bi eje ba ta si die, se ni won a poora,
Ki enikeni ma tan ara re je,
Ko si eniyan ire mo l'aye.

(Translation from Yoruba Language into English)
People come around when your hands drip oily goodness,
But thy disappear when those hands become ******,
Let no one ever deceive themselves,
There are no good people anymore, no not one.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
But anywhere you go,
Whithersoever your love will blow,
Like the breath in your lungs,
I'll sing to you, ever loving songs;

For every fiber within me,
And with my very eyes I long to see,
My arms aching to behold,
This legendary beauty my dreams foretold.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2016
Dear husband, this commodity is free,
Your mind is always on a distracting spree,
All I want from you is some attention,
And you can ignore my stifling emotion.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
For all the love I spent on you,
The poems and moonlight serenades,
The bunnies and beautiful Christmases,
All of these but you never loved me, too.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
The silent scream of the grave,
Crying for justice,
From equinox to solstice,
Deafening howls that prayers cannot stave.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
A most horrible defilement,
Forced entry into government,
Taking away resources with pleasure,
Ruining forever, a priceless treasure.
Many African countries are under military or civilian dictatorships, many for decades on end. SHAME.

Dada Olowo Eyo May 2020
Could be as a result of circumstance,
One situation could lead to happenstance,
Or a conflicted dissonance,
Even a bewildering lack of stance.
Things happen.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
But with diabolic intention,
And smiley mischievous disposition,
They hide behind beautiful innuendos,
To leave the vulnerable in unbearable  agonising throes.
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.
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.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2013
I  encourage myself, me alone,
Their prayers are what they are,
And how far I can go on my own,
Is left for those answered prayers and all the will I can muster.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2020
Who do you think you are,
A shooting star?!
What are you doing here,
Lice in my hair?!

Never thought in several lifetimes,
That my heart would lose guard,
And someone with melodious chimes,
Would play this winning card.
When love takes your breath away.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2015
Sleep is my only drug,
I get vitality, not from a mug,
Deprive me not of my snooze,
For I make no friend with the *****.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
My heart wept,
When I saw where he was kept,
Unfit even for the dead,
But he proudly introduced his spread.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Are we there yet?
One foot from the brink?
Are our backs flush against the wall?
Can we break through or break out?
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 Apr 2019
Running my tongue over grime,
Unpleasant coarseness meets the senses,
Wall to wall discomfort,
Nothing prepares for a very stinky affair.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
You are a thief,
You go around committing mischief,
You fill women’s hearts with unwholesome grief,
You make men’s lives short and painfully brief.
Certain species of earthlings just do not know what LOVE is...sad, really.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
I'll dress in my sweet tailored tux,
Top hat, walking stick, and all
Smell better than the loveliest bloom on earth,
And have the best time, all by myself.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2013
You say one,
I hear another,
You are my lover,
And then you are gone.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here,
To scare the hell into you,
Feed you with so much fear,
So, you never know what to do;

We're your gods,
And we don't play,
We have the rods,
So, open! Whenever we say!
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
Blue eyes, she's got blue ice,
Most beautiful things I've ever seen,
Her heart's where I'd have been,
If only, only if, she didn't take, the colder highs.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Pretty as a picture,
But harbours an ugly secret,
She's a human waste collector,
****** and **** on for dollars.
They're used to satisfy fetishes of rich Arabian animals. They demean female folk for their own inane pleasures: a sick and dastardly fetish. For a couple of thousand dollars, these women sell dignity to the dogs. Out of desperation or an unknowingly harmless fun seeking adventure, many end up being *******, goldenshowered or beastialised. But it's all fun you until that which makes you human questions your sanity. STROKES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
Power down our differences,
Let our potential flow,
Light up our preferences,
Pray, let our love life glow.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2013
Illuminated, only, by a white line of led,
I toss and turn, on the damp bed,
Because the light people prefer solid darkness,
And outside, all there is, is perfect stillness.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Sticky night, power out,
Always been that way,
But during moments of brightness,
Children cannot help but shout!
Nigeria children scream, "up NEPA!" whenever the lights come on after power cut - that can last hours, days, months or years. SHAME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2015
The light caught your eye,
And kept me mesmerised,
Your melody floated by,
And left me hypnotised.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
They steal us blind,
Embezzle livelihoods of generations unborn,
No different from European barbarians,
Who today pass off as modern grammarians.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
Somewhere in the centre,
I drew the present and past together,
And no matter how many times the coin was thrown,
It landed on a future full of the terrible unknown.
