THE JUNGLE,THE STRUGGLE AND THE MEMORY
In the main land I lived
The hustle and bustle training
Early morning noises and late hour unrest
The neighborhood disturbances for pleasure
Oh African land of no man!
In your world many have grown
In you another ruined for known or otherwise
When shall others live testimonial life?
Where lays the hope of the commoners?
Quicken to ask if any.
Tomorrow near like yesterday isn't far
On the street, the color is yellowish
Alight hastened for the fear of impatience pilot
Only nature, I mean help of the weak and new comers
Curse, the common language.
Yea, the accidental landlords and occupants
In my land I returned
Away from the usual heat
From the daily inconveniences
Battle for ingenious live
Civility, still the best in you
The honey pot of the black nations.
The hope of the living hustlers
Oh, lasgidi, fill your guest emptying pot with treasure
Abraham Olusegun Adeleye
