Dance with me Omoge Sewa

Come dance with me

Omoge Sewa to rewa

Allow me drown in the

Power of your amulet

Come close to my right

Don’t hide your brilliance from my eyes

Come close to my left

Come feel the heart beats of my chest

Let each step be in sync with mine

Steal each minute

Far away from our sight

The night is ours,

Let us open the chapters of dance

Let us guide our steps with its verses

Let us invent a dancing style

Come Omoge Sewa to rewa

The one whose beauty

Radiates in still darkness

Whose ebony colour sends my brain ashore

Come let us conquer the hours

With sweeping steps and azonto grooves

Dance close, dance lose

Come Omoge Peperenpe

Sweep the air beneath your feet

Raise the dust under your sole

Let your hips make a rhyming beat

Allow your presence Omoge Sewa

Take over my senses forever

Let us murder a thousand songs

Let us massacre a million beats

Let us slaughter a billion dance styles

Omoge Sewa let us flow as each song takes its row

Dance with me Arewa Oyin

Adumaradan, Omoge Sewa, obirin

Let your splendour rob this ambiance

Light my life up with each movement

Come close to me, slay the void in-between

Soak me in the heat of sweetest passion

Dance and turn in every fashion

Hold me like a sister

But touch me like a lover

Let your soothing arms spring up relief

To my body, to my heart, down my soul

Let me be lost in this brewing lust

Let the whole of your body cuddle mine

Tonight Omoge to rewa

Let us become one on this dancing floor

Tonight your dance is without flaws

Sewa to rewa

Twist and let this night be still.

Tribute

Tribute to Nigerians Who lived to fight But died at bullets sight For justice, for equity For change, for betterment Tribute to Nigerians Whose smiles suffer them And their cries are never heard Who suffers for daily bread While deep inside, they bleed Tribute to Nigerians Who wake up early to sleep late Hawking for bread, hustling in stress Working, but worked out Striving, but starved to death Tribute to Nigerians Who did not place religion above man But place man above religion Who are their brother’s keeper Who honours the difference in others Tribute to Nigerians Whose friends betrayed and colleagues dismayed In prisons and cell blocks for no offense Praying yet; yet prayed for their foes Men of valour, buried without honour Tribute to Nigerians Who saw political fraudsters and liars And were brave enough to stand their feet Not corrupt by lies, not swayed by bribes Who in t...

Diary of Arike

I have done it all. Yes. Slept with all kinds of men. The tall dark fine ones without six packs, the ugly dudes with smelling armpits, the fair ones with body hair well shaved like a trimmed garden. The naughty ones who would insist on everything, pushing and pulling you all over every sections till they ran out of zeal and the boastful ones who would just brag about everything but at the end of the day fall asleep like palm oil inside the bottle. My name is Arike. I would not say I am proud of the job, i don’t even know if i should say i did it for the money or whether to affirm that i did it for a long hatred without healing. I was disflowered when i was still young to know the mounting troubles of life. I was raped by a step father who took the advantage of my unloving mother. I would not blame him, I blame my dad who was drunk to the point of meeting death on the express way. Life has being everything to me- the good, the bad and the ugly. The constant rape never ceased after t...

RELIGION

I am a Christian to the extent that I concur with Saint Paul in saying, “And if I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge and have not love, I am nothing”. I am a Buddhist to the extent that I realize, with Gautama, that only when a man forsakes all his desires is he really free. I am a Jew to the extent I believe profoundly in the saying. “ Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God is one.” I am a Hindu to the extent of believing and practicing the kingly science of Yoga, the science of Union with the spiritual Self. I am a Mohammedan to the extent that I rely on Allah above all else. And finally, I am a follower of Lao-Tzu to the extent that I accept his perception of the strange paradoxes of life. I will not walk with Christians into an exaltation of truth above what Christ teaches, those words that have life and death in them. I will not walk with a Buddhist into a denial of the beauty and pleasure which existence holds for me. I will not walk with Jews ...
