THE DEMISE OF AN OCEAN DIVER
The security of her jewel will gobble you, then to him, you
an insignificant
Twine of noddle in the belly of a yearlong famished
African elephant.
Check this->
Sea
lions:
Ready to ragger you,and scornfully laugh
at your avaricious quest,
Hilarious with jesting rotundity
Through their uniform of fat,
raped
around each as variation of size.
Great white shark:
As
the ultimate security, notorious scallywag on the ocean floor
Jiggling both brains, as it amputates life from the body with the
Scalpels and lancets of her razor sharp deadly canine.
Jelly fishes:
With cute
tentacles, mystic to eye deities,
they are the greatest slayers ever,
The goddess of death alone worshipers,
clad in deadly traits, same as
the sight of
polar bears in Varanasi Or yet still,
humpbacks wailing
while
Swimming their awesome melodies In
the shallow streams of
Ouagadougou

THE WORDS IN THE MIND OF THE MAN THAT HELD THE TAIL OF TIME'S TIME.
My friendly enemy, my woe,
My success, it, sunrise and tide stood still and
waited,
While running for a double faced demon.
The oceans in war with my ambitions,
The moon aggressive to the dying
twilight in my
newly closed mouth,
He said I must decide to loose or
win the signs of
the sunny moon’s shadow.
At exactly twelve o’clock midnight
they made hay,At the same time in charge of ritual
oratory, their calabash in the floor’s sky.
above
the iroko tree.
The mystical was in possession of a compass,
Couldn’t
understand the drawings, four brained deities
Interpreted
walking terrestrial shadows;
Maybe they had a wrist watch.
Our sages even while somnambulating at sunrise,
Read the shadows and made grandiose inferences,
Hand
writings on heavenly
walls,
signs and symbols for the so called virgin deities.
He is in war with man while the oceans had
A dispute with those red salmons,
Sending them back
to the
Magma river
to lay aluminum eggs,
He’s too slow and dull,
Like the
flapping wings of a humming bird,
At the same time, faster than fast,
Like the little Chinese snail Angustopila dominikae.
.
Procrastinators are humming killers,
Giving greens to sloths in the Amazon,
Wise usage of time will not just make you survive,
But thrive and prosper at the right time.

HOW TO SURVIVE IN A UNIVERSITY.
You would plan to dip your head into the mouth of a tiger shark
And tell it not to cramp its teeth, else you will burst
its jowl.
You walk into the aperture of darkness with mouth filled
With the blood of words, equations and drawings
And hope some will penetrate your myelin.
You would spin yourself into a somnambulist and
Melt the night
into your eyes with candles and
Hope again that some will penetrate your myelin.
You would drag bare parties into a sack and
Encourage it to commit Fatalistic
suicide.
Then you owl, yelp and roar to the heavens
And request you don’t
want the darkness
To reappear in the mouth of the tiger shark.
FUTA is a university where exam is like a tiger shark

POETRY - SECRET LETTER TO THE MAN THAT IGNITED THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Your achievement:
“With his grey hair
you spun
him into a baby
Swimmeret after you
drown his
smile in his never seen
River that was dry to
the eyeballs
Your ruddy stone eye
glued to the puffiness of your
mislaid conscience,
You drank concentrated
philtre that drunk
you with the love for hatred, the one
your bumpy circle learned to gulp,
Such that everyone
could then dwell
In the circle of the
raging sun that grew
into space from your pocket.
-
The whole world
Now you are emitting
gamma happiness “abi”?
You forgot that
grandpa said:
“adiye irena o kin se eran ajegbe” ( you can’t
eat diabolic chickens and grow fat)
Bittersweet mixed
feelings skulking
into the serum of your marrow,
The tall woes you
brought were
those black skies in an elongated human body,
You emitted red ardor
while you
wore a black hood, back for front,
And bounced away like
teenage boys
learning to sway girls with mere stance.
You originated the
first major horror
As a smart means to
end soothe your anguish
The whole of humanity
joined Grandpa
and said I should ask this:
Hope you enjoyed the
way
you fell lately into Hades, after they
Made your whole body
into a hotchpotch of
punctured organs and tendons
Connected with
strings,
and that ruddy eye at abdomen level?
Grandpa never knew
that you died
way long before he did.
You committed the
greatest regicide in history.
Your offense:
You ignited the First
World War by
killing Archduke Franz
Ferdinand
and his wife,
When you pulled your trigger
twice the number of times
Unknown.

A DEAD STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL
Gbam!
The privacy screen of
the door he closed.
Hmm! Baba sat, he said
“too Lataaro!” (Since Morning!)
Exhausted from the L
queue. To him, in front was
A bald headed man,
sitting like an agitating god
Of an edgy swivel
chair, gestures singing a chorus of investigation,
As he had a
complaining smile on his hind face – for working on a Christmas day.
His two new phones
sitting with his standing pen,
And blinking a
resilient call for snub,
Standing on his upper
lips were bent acacia mangrove trees,
Preaching a
somnambulating doctrine of Immortality for souls.
Fragile catkins,
attached, but looking like eyes falling
From arched heavenly
walls hiking on watery shallows
Two balls on his face,
oversized I must say,
Stern! Like a light
speed thrown sting, from the stick walking
Chameleon with elastic
tongue as told by my forefathers - Yoruba land.
Intertwined smell, all
together, surely
A mix of odour from:
(1)
Palaecologist lab
(2)
Newly painted haven
(3)
And something bizarre, smelling
bittersweet that baba can’t really decipher.
Secretly, baba felt
his brain interlaced with he’s,
Sensed that he was a
serial killer,
A high way man often
on case altitudes,
Clinging to wall steps
like inner subway feigns,
And preaching after
breaking the lock,
Stammered, Jes u uuuu
… s, was out for a tinko! tinko!
With strangely wired
ones, hunting muscles
Like cougars, jaguars
and ocean orcas.
Outside were diffusing
broken bottles - two muscles in a bitter argument
Stylishly pretended
like I was non-committal,
An aggressive big
headed gave a punch to the outspoken
and frail looking. Left blood stains on white
tiles,
Traced to a below zero
degree, cold earthly hell fire.
Scalpels were held by
some green covered,
Plastic eyed, standing
their bodies in the next room,
It was an emergency of
do something for his colored papers
, and tell the
hustlers to throw him in the big fridge,
“Odigba” they said, Lock
the door,
Gbam!
