Adebayo Sir Toby Heavy Poems
- 1. Independence
She was torn away,
That night on the Atlantic ocean
By the big ship of the slave hunters
A long way from her home,Africa
... - 2. Corruption In The Country
My country bank is built
For robbers in suits to stay,
See different saints comes and go
Some of are Imams,some are pastors
... - 3. Poor Shepherdess
A poor shepherdess, Days of yore
If her asses bleats at grains' store
Whipped them with her heavy brass
Grain's for me and for thee-grass!
... - 4. A Lazyman's Prayer
O God, I cain't believe it's new-day,
Mystery art thy works, I cannot learn;
Thy providence, no man can repay;
With many treasures or which he earn,
... - 5. The Black Ghost
Trundling and scuffling around;
Upon purlieus, hut-tops and facia,
If thousands rain of stones pound
Call out, search but none found;
... - 6. Obedience
Not tired eyes with broken heart
Expressed with thousands sighs
Wars and woes that holds its dart
Not life full of much wants and cries
...
