[5/14, 00:33] Dr. Ajayi Abass Oluwaseyi: So strange

So soft spoken 
So well mannered 
So calm 
So loving 
So emotional

So garrulous 
so ill mannered 
So harsh
So hateful
So cold

They met....

[5/24, 19:30] Dr. Ajayi Abass Oluwaseyi: Little bird

Songs the little bird sings 
Melodious and enchanting
Songs and stories 
Melodies of fallacy

.....................................................................
Little bird 
Sugar coating information 
Adding salt and spices 
Little bird 
Radio without battery
Agbejoro agbaye

Little bird 
One day Bush meat will catch the hunter 
A steaming pot of soup awaits your bird flesh.

Dedicated to all Gossips and Rumor peddlers

[5/27, 23:52] Dr. Ajayi Abass Oluwaseyi: Urchin

Licking the remnants 
Remnants of the remnants 
From a bowl filthy 
Washed Clean by salivary juices



Dirty and filthy 
A gang of filthy kids 
A street orchestra 
The Almajiri orchestra

Singing a symphony 
Little voices, sweet music 
Masters of the art  
The art of street begging

Dark faces
Silky brown hair 
Ringworms and dandruff 
Worms and craw craw

Neglected and ignored 
Oppressed and vulnerable 
Orphans with parents 
Sent to the city

Stomachs empty
Brains uniinterested 
Knowledge unacquired
Effort in futility

Almajiri 
The street urchin 
Faraway from home 
Faraway from motherly love 
In a big city
Young and vulnerable 
Weak and unprotected 
Only God can protect you

What are we doing 
Why are our eyes closed 
Can't we see 
Are we blind

Many eyahs are not enough 
Many orphanages are not enough 
Many bickers and tribal arguments are worthless 
Many efforts and actions is what they need 
Many of them are tomorrow's leaders

Dedicated to orphans all over the world.. On Children's Day

Hustlers Prayer

Oh God, I know am late again
It's been a long time we had this conversation
But things haven't been easy
I pray I hammer again this time

I drank garri and groundnut yesterday
I am grateful because some don't even have groundnut
Others na ordinary garri
Even some no get food
Please God up grade my groundnut to chicken and my garri to fried rice

The last time I hammered I made several promises to you
But the devil came in form of friends, girls and booze.
The money vaporized, I still wonder where all the money went.

My mum still expects me to bring that girl home
My mum needs money for that check up
My younger brother's fees are long over due
My landlord threatens eviction
My girlfriend has a list

Work day and night
Meagre pay swallowed by mega bills
Mega bills mount before meagre pay comes
I am a certified debtor and my creditors know I am bad for business, they call me bad credit

Oh God, put a smile on my face and I promise to be good
Let my hustle yield millions and billions
Fuse me to wealth and detach me from poverty
Grant me that Midas touch
So all I touch becomes gold
Upgrade me Lord
And I'll never stop bowing before you
Amen
