EAVESDROPPER

Image
Image from Google  I was in a close-door meeting Where every form of media was missing We wanted to get rid of a man's hatred So what we discussed was sacred We all agreed to keep our mouths sealed Because our point we were yet to build As I came out of the meeting dome And set on my way to go home The hater called me and said "Why do you all think I'm wicked?" "Everything you discussed in the meeting has reached me" "And every of your facts about me is fallacy" But we met where no third party could hear Is it then true that the wall has an ear? This I will always fail to believe But how the hater heard I couldn't conceive My people say the king has one ear at home and the other in the field Even to this fact my heart still fails to yield Until I knew what is called an eavesdropper Then I understood everything proper So people are the king's other ear And people are also the wall's ear (c)  Juwon Osanipin ...

ABIYAMO

Truly every man calls his mother the best But my mother is really different from the rest "Abiyamo" is the name that differentiates her It is rare to find a woman like her Nine months in her womb did not make her frown She bore me and took care of me till I'm grown Such is the description of every mother But "Abiyamo" is more than a mother I'm grown and she does not stop her carings Not only for me but also my elder siblings She does anything in her might for us It might hurt her but she sees it as her cross I'm very more capable than her to endure stress But she bears it and cleans up my every mess "Abiyamo" never stops to share and care Even when mother relaxes and stops being there Now you see what is found in the former Which can not be seen in the latter (c) Juwon Osanipin Excerpt from my book, LIFE (A collection of poems in facts)  

SWEET CONVERSATION

Image from Google  He said, "Seek My face" I said, "Give me the grace" He said, "Ask and you shall receive" I said, "Help me to believe" He said, "Pray and I will hear" I said, "Just be forever near" He said, "Just call unto Me" I said, "My sins won't let me" He said, "Quit your sins" I said, "Save me from sinful scenes" He said, "Only let your faith be firm" I said, "My faith let not Satan confirm" He said, "Do you think he confirms your faith for no reason?" I said, "I know every temptation teaches me a lesson" He said, "The more reason why your faith should be stronger" Then I had nothing more to utter He always gets my back So I believe I will not lack (c) Juwon Osanipin An excerpt from my book, LIFE (A collection of poems in facts)
