THE ENEMY AROUND | Tunde Abdulsalam

                                        ******THE ENEMY AROUND******

Your BOOM !!! Keeps sounding aloud,

And it pains majestically walk around.

Offering our people as sacrificial lambs,

There your joy is announced.

Are those innocent bloods

Shed to appease you gods?

You ought to have receive some hugs,

In satisfaction of the already taken litres and jugs.

Your hiding under religious umbrella stinks,

In fact, the re occurrence of the word "Peace"

In stanzas of islamic chants

Gives it its aesthetic rhythmic patterns

We are Nigerians,

Our Unity Stands.

BANKRUPT BILLIONAIRE | Tunde Abdulsalam

‎                                     ***BANKRUPT BILLIONAIRE***

A bee that produces almost 3 million barrels of honey daily,
Still unable to cater for its people.

As her calculated errors tangle,
Poverty is charmed around her wrist like bangle.

An "Ibadan". "Running splash of rust and gold"
Now run splash of rust metals only
Though, her medium of income remains multiple,
But her people and hardship still mingle.

Her celebration of lost lives yearly,
States her vision and mission clearly.
unconsciously,
Her level of sorrow increases fearfully.

Yet !! Her bangle of wealth sticks around her ankle.
But, her economy enjoys the struggle.

                                                              ***THE END***
