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.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2018
Creativity is a plate of hunger and deprivation,
With a cup of agony and frustration,
So we go out and blow ourselves up,
To taste another kind of life other side of the hilltop.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
Come, spread out beautifully,
Lay gorgeously on the soft satin,
But give me forever to savour,
Such wonder between these mounds.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Mindless stumps of evil,
Blind to reason,
Delivering unearthly destruction,
Holy justice.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2020
Get,
Out,
And,
Try!
There's nothing overly exciting indoors, anyway.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
Then snaked her hand,
Between the mountains,
Pleasures like delicious rains,
Caressing ***** grains of sand.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2015
The white man's medicine,
Says there's no sin,
But the gods are awake,
Angry, and lives, will be at stake.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2015
White man's medicine,
Says it's the gin,
The gods are impotent,
They long used up their rent.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
At a point,
Not out of joint,
My journey will take me,
To where I ought to be.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2015
Why peek from behind the clouds,
When you can break the through the folds,
Turn fluffy fear into a story.
And blaze in all your glory,
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2019
Spring, wilted rose,
Why she was taken,
Nobody knows,
Too much sorrow, to take in.
A young lady went missing in one of the suburbs of Lagos State, Nigeria. And for eleven days family and friends went by all out. Sadly, her remains were found in a filthy canal, after she was washed away in a flood when attempting to cross a street on a commercial motorcycle.
All hope came to nought as news of her untimely demise filtered in.
Another one on your hands, Nigeria! May her spirit never give all of you that have made motorcycle a major means of transportation in Nigeria and made our roads deathtraps.

My disappointments held me,
Captive, for many teary moons,
You see, I wasn't born with any metallic spoons,
None, whatsoever, so I became the best that I could ever be.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2013
Cakes, flakes and stakes;
Here we are to celebrate;
Pretty, Yes; intelligent, no doubt!
Happy birthday, and here's a big shout!!
Happy Birthday, Ify LastChild
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
You suffocate me,
Pressure me on all sides,
But I remember the joyful rides,
Now all I want to do is...just flee.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2019
The cheerful, bubbly man?
The one that catches attention?
Yes, the angels took him away,
And we're too shook, to ask, why?
Mr. Mattias Hamo was a man of immense stature, of tremendous timbre and calibre. The last time I saw him was in 2017 when he gave me a lift and some pocket change. He was a frugal man.

His wife was was a senior colleague and elder to me.

He will be greatly missed.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Far from my embrace,
Left in this coldly place,
If again, I could touch your face,
And fill this lonely space.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2020
Big, hairy, scary thing,
Taking up all the good space,
Foul breath, stinky attitude,
Stomping around like King Kong;

My fears were with me,
They lived within my recesses,
Constantly, each one reminded me,
Daily, of my caged excesses;

But you don't come at my heart,
Breaking down all my defenses,
You never wanted love from the start,
All you brought were mere pretenses.
Hard to recover from a failed relationship founded on misdirection.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2018
Nothing inspires here,
All there is, is fear,
Of hunger and penury,
Every evil more than legendary.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2019
Our voices will be heard,
Your handmade fences can't stop us,
You may come with your galactic force,
But our will cut through your thick head.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
Mass hysteria, a sea of cudgels,
With one mind, they rush forward,
Bearing down on the unfortunates,
That went in search of greener pastures.
Many foreigners, especially of African origin, have become puck targets for randy south africans on a **** of violence and mayhem. Thee xenophobic attacks may have sinister backing from top hierarchy I government that have been recorded on camera siding what could be termed 'foreign cleansing'.
Nigerians are top on the list of targets because they've been accused of snatching girlfriends to stealing business opportunities. Also, they have accussed nigerians of runing the largest drug cartel in their country.

But in a show of nonchalance, the federal government of nigeria has pretended not to have heard or seen the agonising, horrific & bloodcurdling jungle justice meted out on nigerians & nigerian-owned businesses.

It's sad that Nigerians are killed at home and abroad like inconsequential breathing apparatuses. SADLY SHAMEFUL.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2019
To end...or not to end it all,
What other route is there?
This is too much to bear,
Peace, maybe, beyond the wall.
Another Nigerian kicks the bucket in suicide. The increased rate of such deaths may not have been noticed by power hungry politicians only interested in advancing selfish pursuits. But the streets are replete with stories of undergraduates, husbands, teenagers, many people drinking poisonous liquids just to end it all at once.
For plethora of problems they've concluded that there aren't solutions for, they choose to ingest ******, a commonly available pesticide, as permanent solution to whatever plagued them for so long.
Nigerians are fast becoming endangered species. SAD.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2023
Tragedy struck the day,
Death stole you away,
From our lives forever,
To see you, again, never;

But only in my dream,
Our conversations stream,
Yet they feel ever so unreal,
How, how will I deal?

Now seven years gone,
The sadness still weighs a tonne,
Try, and I do, to make light,
But see the tears I fight;

Sleep on dear father,
And say hell to our mother,
The days will be long,
Yes, as I try to stay strong.
It's been seven years my father made his way back to his maker. It's a burden I'll live with, finding strength in the lessons that he left behind.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
But my wall of impenetrable hatred,
And anti love defenses,
Couldn't stand up to your thoroughbred,
Sweet, delicate and measured advances.
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.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Witch! Gi'e me back me heart!
Ne'er wanted you to have it!!
Belongs to another sweet,
Wasn't yours, right from the very start!!!
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2019
Waking up to a bright day,
Whistling about all the way,
Walking with a smart springing,
Working without a groaning;

Wishful thinking, wishing this,
Worthless life, this one,
Worrying about this and that,
Wasting away, after every start.
It is elusive, very much, a life without sorrows. PITY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2017
The beloved shackles,
Oh, those fettered minds,
Hands that never want to swing free,
And feet always contented with walking forward, backward.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2018
And what's there to be happy about?
Executive stupidity on heartbreaking display?
Immoral Legislative senselessness on constant rotation?
Or Judicial frivolity transfusing decadence all year long?
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Red dust everywhere,
In the wake of every gear,
Now the rains are gone,
Time to have some hot, dry fun.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2017
The brown of harmattan,
Dry, windy and dehydrating,
But if there be one thing,
Peace from the silent, old noisy fan.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
Death's too much a luxury,
Alive, suffer and gnash your teeth,
Enjoy the wealth of penury,
Wishing yourself hell, whenever you breathe.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
Ofcourse not, mister!
Everywhere your position may take you,
Even your power, too,
But not for the wiser!

Your empty refrains are hollow,
And your dead promises, too,
You do not have a clue,
Want to bribe tomorrow?
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
I see what I want to see,
I hear want I want to hear,
You're responsible for your ear,
And whatever makes your cup of tea.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Hey! Put a lid on it!!
And quit ranting, like a loose *****,
Every one's starring at you,
Wondering, if you're on mad heat.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
It was a simple plan from the start,
And every little detail was in place,
Until you showed your angelic face,
Then the mission became your priceless, beautiful heart.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2020
Your time, you have completed,
Indeed, yes, but should have waited,
To hold your grandchildren, both,
Before coursing on fate's boat;

As your strength drew down,
You never grew a frown,
Even on my wedding day,
'Twas brilliant all the way;

So, here I am, calling,
To say you aren't forgotten,
May be physically departed,
In spirit, always, united.
May 22, 2016. Always in our hearts, daddy.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
The lizard swam against the tide,
No tail, no rudder,
Called out to the frog, shame on pride,
Better handicapped then dead!
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
Green words of healing,
Spoken since before time borne,
Enemies knew but not revealing,
Blinding powers like the amazing sun.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2020
Eat! Drink! be merry, for none knows,
What the morrow delivers,
Maybe a basket full of sorrows,
Or plenteous mirth like many gushing rivers.
We have only one life to lead, live.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2013
Might a place,
In this vastness,
We find sweetness,
In love's space.
Holding breath for the woman I have come to call...my beloved.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
This part of the world,
And it's starchy ways,
Everything fattens,
Very heart unfriendly.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
As far as the eyes can sweep,
Over the highs and beyond the lows,
Terrain not at all firmer than most,
Haul in a day's wage of sweat.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
All in one,
One in all,
Can do much more,
Much more can do.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2015
May true love seek you out,
And not some randy tout,
Your own man to complete you,
And honour you all through.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2018
See them, see how they raise their voices,
See the way they gesticulate and pontificate,
They highlight monsters from across the sea,
And condemn the critters across the deserts;

But they fail to look at themselves,
Bloodied history of mass massacres,
Forced occupation of foreign lands,
And state sanctioned sovereign assassinations;

These ones can only fool fools,
Not four-eyed discerning minds,
That see through their criminal mendacity,
And characteristic self adulating oratory.
The land of the free and home of the brave - America - has stopped arms support to Saudi Arabi over the killing of Journalist Kashoggi, a citizen of Virginia. The lawmakers that reached this resolution mouthed their "values and principles" as underlying reasons for reaching the "landmark" decision.

Then one wonders why this same uncle sam, big brother of the world, that has not stopped toppling governments and causing mayhem across the world would stand on a pedestal of integrity to denigrate a country for engaging in acts not alien to the stars and stripes. HYPOCRITES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Familiar cocoa trees, carpet grass and banana,
Mango, orange, and good old papaya
Shady cool to roam and play,
And assurances of warm love everyday.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2018
Been away for many a moon,
But now back to fatherland,
Then alas! A crack and boom!
Life ends with a wicked shot.
Many Nigerians fear to return to that country because of cases of lawless misfirings by those (poorly) remunerated to protect them. Another lady got shot by crazy policemen just under two years of returning home from living all her life abroad. Sad.
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?
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Her chuckles stir me up,
She engages me with her cheerful banter,
Last night, she sounded a lot sexier, and brilliantly smarter,
And I wished and wished again…that she’ll never, ever... stop.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
The girls have no blame,
For the indolence of men,
365 days are all the same,
Dusty roads with ***** mien.
