Olorunleke Olorode Poems
- 1. Unjust Cause
Are you looking toward the sky
Hoping to get something?
Aigbofa lanwoke, ifakan kosi ni paara.
Why and how would you do
... - 2. My Joy
Gently she stopped to enter a cab
Towards her destination,
And out of consciousness,
My heart was glued to her good-looking face.
... - 3. Independence Slavery
Sail from afar of my journey made.
What could be the sound my ear do hear?
This seems to be that of a glorious celebration,
Which needs no ear to be put on the wall.
... - 4. My Plight
Daily I cry for no reason to purge my heart,
In the depth of wealth that my soul wailed.
Most in thoughts reason for the lost of my bread,
The significance of omotoyikogbon with a fulfilled heart.
... - 5. Ibadan
Raise your voice aloud
And echo that which taints your heart
The days of the chain are laid to rest
And the closed eyes are made opened
... - 6. Second Death
From the Brooks of fantasy.
The boom of a coming legs make a glorious call.
This so gratifying not to be compared
To the funeral calls of our politicians and corps.
... - 7. Fate
FATE
See this wonder that enclaves our heart,
The song we sang as the Israelites in need of king.
... - 8. Order
Looking upon the Eucharist that clips our heart.
The sole journey to the promise Land of thought,
Not as that which ended up in forty years.
But the one that has brought sorrow in laughter to our face.
