TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER ON GRANDPAS DAY
I landed a fish last summer.
It begged me to catch and release.
It said better to hunger than kill
“We are all fishes”, it reminded me,
“angling in a lake of love.”
I saw the same fish this summer
it winked at me
and released me
from its bait of worm
LOOTING THE LEKKI WAREHOUSE
The Bible says:
1 Timothy 2:7
He was a murderer
from the beginning,
and does not stand
in the truth
because there is no truth in him.
Whenever he speaks a lie,
he speaks from his own nature,
The Akodi Orisa that I constructed in 2011, Ondo, Ondo State, Nigeria. It is the model for the one in Ile Ife.
The fellow hiding in this picture is easy to find, right
The Birth
Of a New Year? New opportunities? New visions? New directions? New hopes? New tools? New thoughts? New leaf? New step? New energy? New start? New move? New song? New voice? New motive? New motif? New dance? New question? New answer? New mission? New me?
This is too easy, right?
Do you see this person?
It’s easy to see who is hiding in the picture and what the fellow is doing, isn’t it?
I wonder.
Cos You’re Happy
There is a science of joy
and it is simple:
when the sun shines on ice
it melts, right?
