Chants of 'Kill'

Lagbaja 'Omo Tamedo!

He shouted, in an unusual tone

As if to get an answer

He called, like an 'Announcer'.

Seen in flashes of fetish 'red'

Daring to call 'the dead'

To invoke with havoc

Its spirit, in for ‘hard knocks’

As in D realm of a film

Or Illusion-soaked film

Came a fearsome object

The shadow of the 'maimed' so abject

Need some water

My face to flush better

A reality? I queried

Thought aloud, so scary

In da dead night

A bite of fetish plight

Lagbaja, Omo Tamedo! the second time

Strange, devilish fight

At the third shout –out

The senses washed-out

 A paradoxical end

A blend of spirit-cultic trend…

Ironically; a strange bondage

'The maimed' returned 'caged'

His 5 senses he lost

Wandering about like dust

A life of possible impossibilities

Rigid flexibilities

Wicked, yet appearing needed

In saving the dying and dejected.

Nature, Pleasure or The Creator?

All posing a spiritual intoto…

Naija Muse..(Pidginized)

Subsidy or Suddenly?

Yab Soja-man pieces

Aha!! u go rest in pieces

Spit for Presido eye inside Ikoyi maximum prison

U go realize say U don commit treason

Add sugar and milk powder

For inside Lekki Beach water

Maybe the alkaline taste go turn sweeter

Afterall, River Mara for Bible be be dey bitter.
But with small salt wey dey Prophet add, the thing begin taste sugar-sugar

Write 'Learner' as title for back of aeroplane 

Dem go feel say na riddle, No blame.

U fit from Lagos visit McCain for Seattle with small change

Unto say dem crest your name for American Hall of Fame

For tight security for Maya Angelou Memorial Poetry Extravaganza

Two Naija Celeb strongmen fit stand as Bouncers

9ice and Nabania Na All rounder

King Olulu & him Council of Elders, Chief organizers.

I dream see Beyoncee for Ajegunle to be precise

Bend down select, Kai! so waitii sef dey patronize

At least once

Sweet rich Naija we need to realize.

Pass through Canal to Canada

E no matter even if your name no be Martha

Mr. Faith go peruse Mr. Fate, carry you pass Nevada,

Ontario, Toronto, Atalanta, d journey go sweet pass Mirinda

So for we wey Still believe in 'Obodo Naija' 4real

Make we dey happii plus jolly

Do our thing as we sabi

Na freeworld, no be 'craze world', no cause to worry.

Forget Boko, just do your things lovingly and jejely

Whether na Subsidy, austerity or our girls wey dem abduct Suddenly

Baba God go arbitrate them definitely

'Cos Na only Him fit unlock plus release our Good wey dem lock, unfailingly.
