Akingbade Ajasa
Okunrin merin oko Asabi
Omo kan sho sho Ajanaku
Omo omo Esugbade ilu dogun
You're a man greater than the gods

Akingbadesujoba you have dine with evil
Bi Akin pe oku ni popo, alaye a fohun
You'd rule the earth, let God hold his throne in heaven, your judgment is a man's last day.

Akin gbade odi oba
Akin wo igba ileke o joye
Akin wo lu o gba iyi
Akin se ti aiye odi oko oso, odi oko aje

Akin rola o gbagbe ewo
Akin roye o gbagbe iku
Akin robinrin gbagbe odale
Akin riyi o gbabge eledua to ni ayie lowo
The doom of a great man just begin
Writing poem with the mix of Yoruba is never easy.
Gopika Krishna Oct 2018
That girl
pleasant as her name.

She is that happy face
That we all want to see in the morning,
Her smile gives us the morning freshness.

She is that smart and hardworking one
Even covered with a pile of work,
I have never seen her complain like others do.

She is that friend that we all have
The child inside her is still alive
As she play around with her curly haired friend
even in middle of a hectic day.

They say everybody has another face, the darkside
But for now I have never seen that side of hers
For now, for me
Merin is the perfect name for her
Pleasant and full of life,
For she is real in this fake world.
