If only thine resolve woult split this hackneyed arrangement,
Of decades bound up in  insidious impoverishment,
Cornered to loud silences behind qwerty lines,
Only praying for the day of pleasant places along scentous pines.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2017
But whence hath humanity's milk of kindness,
The drowned hopes and expired ambitions?
Affluence eats up everything but portions of poverty,
Served daily to depressed, frustrated orphans of benevolence and sincerity.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2018
And here we are, helpless, hapless,
Struggling with the little things that pleasure the small minded,
Whereas brilliant minds are weighed down by daily living,
Incapacitated by the stupidities of the glutton one per cent.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2013
And reality punched me in the face,
As my eyes lost their innocence,
Several shapes clothed in naked lace,
Beckoning to men, and without  preference.
For the first time in my adult life I encountered prostitutes by the roadside..and was left stunned, and for many hours afterwards, I pondered why they chose to trade in flesh...
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2019
And reality punched me in the face,
As my eyes lost their innocence,
Several shapes clothed in naked lace,
Beckoning unto men, and without  preference.
The corruption of worldly living,
On this campus that we live in,
Falsehoods in large measures thriving,
A haven for demons to thrive in;

Where religion has failed,
For those who practise such,
The lack of it has helped much,
On angels wings to safety sailed;

The mystery can never be unravelled,
Though open for everyone to marvel,
Opaque even in the clearest marble,
Blind to the widest travelled;

The kingdom is for the childlike truly,
The little ones unspolled by immorality,
Unaware of the smallest bit of hypocrisy,
Certainly not for the decadent and unruly;

Where several lost precious lives,
A child's in ways most baffling lives,
Wherefore the soul that sins dies,
Away from nether gloom, alive the innocent lives.
DOE, JULY 2003.

Broken, down,
Or whether it be up,
Before you toss that top,
Stop! Is that a clown?

She floated on my consciousness,
She danced on my hair strands,
She veiled me with ***** darkness,
She taunted me with ghostly waist bands.

She floated on my consciousness,
She danced on my hair strands,
She veiled me with ***** darkness,
She taunted me with ghostly waist bands.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
From a region of blinding light,
To a state of lightning blindness,
All gone quickly out of sight,
As brutish power is only hidden weakness.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
Shared incompetence,
Centralised failures,
Redundant caricatures,
Secure flatulence.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Death holds me not in remembrance,
Sickness holds me not in remembrance,
I have become THE ADORED,
Not to be mocked, by the ENTIRE world.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2014
Pervets practice beastialism to sample variety,
Homosexuals wish to discover compatibility,
While only the earthly desire is all but satisfied,
True fulfilment is only achieved in the spiritual magnified.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2014
The feelings for a girlfriend,
When she becomes a wife,
Should not end,
After she brings forth life.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
And every little thing,
Diamonds, tattoos and bling,
That cyber itch to put it out there,
As though anyone actually did care.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
The parts, in unison,
Every of them, one,
Contributing toward the overall,
Each conviction melting into the other.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
A gathering of coconuts,
Deliberating over tomato sauce,
How to make delicate cuts,
And not spoil the source.
A tragic day in Nigeria's history as mediocre government inaugurates a collection of buffoons as ministers for the next three-plus years.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
What if everything you will ever know,
Was a carefully orchestrated lie?
To tame you until the day you die,
And death only revealed this terrible blow?
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2014
Woman of mine,
Tastes like cherry-chocolate wine,
Omoyele, that'e her name,
Or Tolulope, 'tis all the same.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2013
Scion child of the house,
Gentle, kind and gay,
He makes me smile all day,
With joy impossible to douse.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2013
Waves of anger,
Course through enraged veins,
Eyes spotted with crimson stains,
Incensed, she boils over;

Mother makes her mad,
Says things she hates,
Treats her lesser than her mates,
And plays the nagging card;

Sometimes she wonders,
If she sprung from this root,
She seeks the truth,
Day and night, she ponders;

So mother brings wine,
Stretches the crystal, tall glass,
With a smile, she makes the pass,
Then all, again, is pleasant and fine;

Deep down inside,
She knows,
Love flows,
And with this she weathers the tide.
Vera. You know yourself
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.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2018
Emotions arising from the effusions of a redneck,
Driving up blood pressure among the impoverished,
People blinded to the predicament of their unfortunate existence,
Refuse to break the chains but go on a pity party
President D. Trump wonders why people from ******* countries continue to come over to America; and not folks from Norway???
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
Uneasiness, tossing and turning,
Suddenly an outburst, howling,
It's midnight and the senses are struggling,
Thoughts fly all over the place, praying.
My two and a half years old daughter suddenly cries out for her sleep, thrashes around and begin these episodes of shivering, goosebumps all over her body, teeth chattering. She'd been fine all day long, although she'd cried a lot while plaiting her hair in the evening, but it's nothing that he mother and myself weren't familiar with. But tonight she scared the **** out of me; my wife, the cool-under-pressur onele, took her from me, wrapped her and held her close while I stumbled all over the place looking for whatnot.

It will be hours later that her condition made a favorable turn and she'd lay in my chest to sleep. THANKS.

Ignorance in the face,
Of overwhelming evidence,
Of immediate and pressing danger,
Taking over the area around the Niger;

Choosing to pick teeth,
In colourful filial exposures,
In recline with relaxed ambience,
Belatedly, recorded, expressing untruths;

Fons et origo,
Awash with innocent blood,
Awash in the ashes of thy brethren,
After much negotiated patting on the back;

Your psychedelic reactions,
Beyond lip service,
Beyond insensitivity,
Deserves everything but continuity.
The penchant of the president of Nigeria to EXPRESS SHOCK at every avoidable calamity bedeviling the country has raised concerns across the world.

The ceaseless refrain has angered the populace and diaspora, leading to questions bordering around how the country got to this state of hopelessness in the face of internal and external organised terrorism, banditry, criminal defilement of minors, the aged and senseless ******-**** of young women in recent time.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2020
An untimely occasion presents,
Here given an unprecedented opportunity,
To reshape the entire community,
To stop everything, and begin afresh.
The entire world goes into total lockdown as COVID19 coronavirus threatens the man's existence.
For countries like Nigeria that have never prepared for the worst, only choosing to behave like ostriches in times of danger, it is a unique moment to take stock, recalibrate and restart the system.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Shameless outpouring,
Of crocodile mourning,
Two faced human beings,
Putting out shameless things.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2015
How impossible to remain with the one,
But penguins do it, and eagles, too,
Men say it cannot be done,
And women pray for just us two.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2018
Integrity suffers embarrassingly,
And there is nowhere to hide,
Again, a play for sentiment,
But twice beaten cannot be shyness.
A requirement for  the highest office in Nigeria is to have attended high school ( or its equivalent). The present occupant of the seat is embroiled in issues bordering fraudulent claims of evidence of attendance locked in the vaults of the country's army - after pulling the wool over their faces in 2015, he once again adopts the same stratagem - but who is the commander of the said force, the people ask???
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
But for the greed of men,
Would our spirits have floundered?
Daily robbed by the looter's pen,
May we have been plundered?
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2018
Beggars they are, huddled by the guardrail,
As headlamps make out their shriveled forms,
They have never known love, less brail,
Their fate is one of many norms;

Day and night they are led by children,
Life's gifts wallowing in misery and abandonment,
Left to uncertain fate, will never know a pen,
These ones daily embrace scorn and raging disappointment;

So the six blind women,
All from the north,
Summarise our homegrown problem,
Everything we are, everything we are not.
The problem of beggars from the north of Nigeria swarming every capital city of that country has lingered like an unrelenting cancer refusing every known cure and their government really do not care about them or pretend they do not exist. Shame.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2019
Seemed the spirit was lacking,
But one man kept on attacking,
Then youthful inexperience came knocking,
And it was Hots' for the taking!
In another epic turn of events, Tottenham Hotspurs came from lone goal deficit, then a   two goals deficit, to score three amazing goals against a youthful Ajax side - all three goals by one man - to reach the 2018/2019 UEFA Champions League final; making it an all English affair in Spain next month after Liverpool stunned Barcelona last night! INCREDIBLE DOUBLE COMEBACKS!
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
I have stared hunger in the face,
Many a time it breasted the tape,
Left out of breath in this rat race,
Constantly fighting this starving ****.
A time when only momma's love kept us fed and watered.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
Charly, Romeo, Alpha, Sierra, Hotel!
A wakeful night,
****! What the hell!
Almost took 'em all on a flight!
Friend just welcomed a set of twins. Been sleeping while driving ever since. Although he has two helps at home, he finds himself dozing off everywhere he seats his ****. LOVELY!
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2019
Mom had barely shut her eye,
Than Sam howled up a storm,
What! But he just ****** me dry!
Oh, slumber, when will I get some?
Respect to all nursing mothers, your labour of love will not go unrewarded,
here on earth.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
There's nothing more magical,
Or absolutely heartwarming,
Than that dreamy chuckling,
That's beyond beautiful, simply angelical.
When my two and a half years old daughter smiles during her sleep, I wonder what shes dreaming about, a far better place, than this present situation, or enjoying a warm hug with the heavenly ones. Which ever or not, it's reassuring that there are little moments such as this one that makes up for the daily struggles of being a father, provider and husband.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2020
These things happen,
Planned or unplanned,
Although nursing one in hand,
Doesn't stop taking a quick stand;

So, in the heat of it all,
The smooth rise and sweet fall,
Whether some got in...,
...or was withdrawn before the rushing;

There was a delay in the flow,
Maybe it's just slow,
The cycle is well into the fourth,
Gives us some food for thought;

The two stripes were telling a story,
Of possible nine months glory,
Admidst lots of emotions, mixed and mashed,
But out the window is having life smashed.
In the fifth month of our new born son, my wife thinks she missed her period...oh, wow!

Between our first daughter and son is three years and this one, if the two stripes from yesterday's test strip is confirmed, means the next bundle of joy will be fourteen or fifteen months younger than the now youngest...yikes!
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
The fever that held me bound,
When you promised me that kiss,
Oh, I waited, heart racing, for you to come around,
It was wet, it was sweet; and I am glad, I did not miss.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
Beyond imagination,
That my thunder,
Cannot light you up,
Even move you, just a fraction.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Goes 'bout mouthin' the bend,
Talkin' from the rear end,
Mirrors fools quippin',
With grey matter drippin'.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2016
Whence have you fled,
Taking all of me for granted?
But cometh swiftly my wrath,
Like hell on a terrible high.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2018
I am affected, I must confess,
By the beautiful words you prefess,
In your touch, the gentleness,
And in your embrace, the warm tenderness.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
Light morning drizzle,
Wet Wednesday wizzle,
Big breakfast sizzle,
Huge grin, big smile, on the hizzle.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
Fire burning cold,
Spirit turning on its own,
Can't see beyond what I'm told,
Oh, what calamity to be thrown.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
The mountains call to me,
With the birds I must be,
Drinking from the crystal pure,
Cannot but fall for the pristine allure.
SMS
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
SMS
It was fun while we texted,
I enjoyed every tapping bit,
Shame we got to call it quit,
Now I'm gonna find who's nexted.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
And the preferred utility,
For use in this morbidity,
Gets axed by authority,
As a matter of citizen security;
But no sooner than say, 'mary poppins!' accidental deaths are recorded by it's application in hair lice removal or eradication - two persons: one infant & a graduate; both died when the organophosphate - ****** - was copiously applied in hair, then covered up; only for the applicants to be found dead next morning.
Prior to this, the organophosphate had been responsible for majority of deaths by consuming contaminated beans, yam flour after its use as pesticide to preserve agro products, even smoked fish, too. Then Nigerians began a series of using the deadly fluid in ending their lives for sundry reasons.
A knee **** ban by the Nigerian food and drug admin body came into effect but mass illiteracy of the people regarding the nature of such phosphates may actually lead to more deaths in the future as people will find others means of being creative with the one shot killer. SAD.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Tip toe, tip toe,
And there she goes,
Light feet on heavy *****,
Hugging the night in red nylon tights.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2018
I am in water but I have ***** suds blocking my vision,
Surrounded by meaninglessness and so and so,
So much lack in the midst of plenty,
That oft I question, really, what is my life's mission?
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
Rhythmic back and forth,
Entire shaft getting frothy,
Eyes roll back, mouthing gibberish,
Releasing gleefully with climatic relish.
