Poems

Babatunde Raimi May 2020
In the coven of "Awon Iya"
"Apani ma lo ida"
That's where they finish your work
So, look before you leap

You think the food is free
You feel fly laying with her
Cultivating all her land with your shovel
Your time cometh

Samson lost his ministry on the laps of Delilah
If you hear "Shior Shior" in the night
Accompanied by inaudible songs
"Awon Iya lon test microphoni oh!"

It is better safe than sorry they say
Marriage is the coming together of two
Perfect their imperfections
If she's got 6/10, seal the deal
And save your life
