Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Luscious red,
Breaks me into some sweat,
Oh, no, she's not a threat,
More than...she's a hot, **** thoroughbred.
My very own long-distance personal couch doc
Drunk poet Aug 2018
Aduke fear befell the sun
She knelt dreadfully before your succulent eyes
Fright encamped the stars
as ur beauty overshadowed their shines

The gods gazed down from their huts
To have a glimpse of your paradisaic beauty
Aduke mi, kings give their thrones away
Just to spend a half of second to witness your smile

Adukeeeeee, my dear old nation
Now children gather to listen to the tale of your beauty
As they catch warmth of fire
Made by wood from the forest you were buried
Àdùké
Priceless is your worth to me
Even than cedars of Lebanon
You're to me the best gift
Divination graciously gifted
Never you stop "fìfé kémi"
Cos daily as I live
I long after constant assurance
Of your never lying love.

"Àdùké mí, eléyinjú egé"
Your cynosural eyes is captivating
So foxy that I'm knotted to you
Mindless mouths saying I'm influenced
By your pungent "èfó rírò"
If it's so, better it continually so
For upon this "èfó rírò" I helplessly
Want to be endeared to your unfading love.

"Àdùké elérin èye"
My priceless jewel
A simple definition of sincere beauty
The two "tóóró" on the either side of your cheeks
Signal muscle to my meaty lips
Sparkling euphoria of planting pecks and kisses
I often grow, each moment you wear a smile.

Àdùké mi
Gifted are your "ìbàdí àrán"
Way too delightful its rigmarole
Following your queenly walking steps
It's intensely appealing and optically endearing
I bet it's simply "àwòmáleèlo"
Little wonder my heart sticks to you
And my mind often caresses the thoughts of you.

Àdùké please "f'owówónú"
I know I've wrought deservedly of your angst and goodbye
But apologetically I beseech you
To not flip out nor bust up
Forget, forgive and stay with me
Sail me on your forever love voyage
Assuredly, you're my eterlove
My world without you is unimaginable!

They took them…

With a ***, shovel and beards engulfed with disguise,
By fire, by force and harm

They heartlessly took them…

Loading with a military van from the snare, the school
Sabotaging their education and jubilance
At the brink of our oculus, like a hot blade through margarine,
Like the  evanescence of dew upon new dawn,
They were gone…


We cajole to Haram Islamic militants,
Not the slavery we signed up for,
Yet this is our story, but not our destiny.
It is profane and sacrilegious to talk slavery upon our realms.
Our ancestral dormancy and Jesus crucifixion outlines our history.
We were untrammeled...but today,

Our existence is dreary and clouded by mystery
We count minutes turning into tormented hours,
In lament of our own flesh and blood

They took them..
with needles and stylus they pinched poked and taunted us,
Like a bunch of sponges filled with voids,
Our hearts are painfully porous,
Dope them with defects,
Bring back our girls…

Haram saboteurs came in with a saber,
They took them…

How less of a man to not respect the words of the late Tata Madiba,
When he said"Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land
Will again experience the oppression of one by another".
There will be war upon the element of Haram when Jesus intervene..
Bring back our girls..

(Nigreian acsent)

Chinekeee, man of Haram, bring back our girls_oo
I beg, why go they take?
Eeeh, god will go get you one day,

With our teary Nigerian eyes, will we ever see?
Adedagbo, our crown of joy ?
Aduke,   our beloved ?            
Afolayan  Walking in majesty...
Agbogu,  God settles dispute…

Bring back our girls.
