Shafts of courage depicted on the       parchment of hope Running into beamlight of victory Leaning towards trunk of optimism You speak courage You emit courage Protruding ribs of scalped stood       on wingspans of surgery At the hours of the night. Spring of courage flown into the       feeders of victory. Spirit of courage locked-up       scroll of fear. Sun of courage dried up the       stagnant sea of fear. An entanglement of two wars      fought with two divine axes       of courage. But you conquered fear. Sneezing out the mucus of death       from the nostrils of conquest, Zooming like an eagle soaring into       the waiting arms of the theatre. Clipping the fangs of scalped with       hope. Withstanding the chilled cold of the       night. Resisting assault from the proboscis       of mosquitoes. Waiting for days in hours. Tarried for result outside the fragile       womb of life and hope Tarried for positivity in anxiety Pendulum of anxiety thickened the       darkness of fear But you whizzed back like a matador       from the ordeal of a long journey       of life. A second Lazarus revoked the decree       of death.

COURAGE UNDER TRIALS : for Tony Ilori Adaramoye
Shafts of courage depicted on the       parchment of hope Running into beamlight of victory Leaning towards trunk of optimism You speak courage You emit courage Protruding ribs of scalped stood       on wingspans of surgery At the hours of the night. Spring of courage flown into the       feeders of victory. Spirit of courage locked-up       scroll of fear. Sun of courage dried up the       stagnant sea of fear. An entanglement of two wars      fought with two divine axes       of courage. But you conquered fear. Sneezing out the mucus of death       from the nostrils of conquest, Zooming like an eagle soaring into       the waiting arms of the theatre. Clipping the fangs of scalped with       hope. Withstanding the chilled cold of the       night. Resisting assault from the proboscis       of mosquitoes. Waiting for days in hours. Tarried for result outside the fragile       womb of life and hope Tarried for positivity in anxiety Pendulum of anxiety thickened the       darkness of fear But you whizzed back like a matador       from the ordeal of a long journey       of life. A second Lazarus revoked the decree       of death.
