Black is the Colour By Morayo Oshodi

Black is the colour
That ushers us into the New Year
Such an air of the earth’s odour
Like inhaling a rotten pear
That bursts open to reveal its colour!

Isn’t it black from its stare?
Fruits no longer fall without a farce
And never again a favour.
We ask ourselves what really is our fear
When people go hungry without food for their neighbour.
We ask ourselves what we care
About the price decrement of our labour.
Salary no longer puts food on the table,
And constant is the tear
Of the ones who walk by day and night with little or nothing to harbour.
One voice says we rather stay aloof of the demur
To better endure the sear.

Black is the colour
No human change to dare
Perhaps with hope of bleaching its colour
May resuscitate such dearth in the sphere
Black I no longer fancy as beauty’s colour
But more of evil, pain and sear
It can only take a Caro pore
To bring us to a dreamy swear.

When The Flood Storms By Morayo Oshodi

It all started with a drizzling Some others considered it a trickling Until the buckets got filled from leaking Pregnant and swollen the ceiling So the waters broke, toh toh toh Was the sound of a leaking ceiling. A rhythm worth freestyling. They say make hay while the sun shines. But none while the clouds gather It's been 7 days and your beaming self hasn't shown up instead you had your cousin blow the hay away. Its been 7 days..... Slow and steady drip, drop, top. The flood sneaked in without a storm. So you got caught up? in 7 hours of traffic? So you didn't drown? You could wade in the waters. Swimming was the highlights. And then Kayaking Oyinbo man. Free movie ticket and popcorn? Perhaps for Isoken . Will flooded cinemas go.

The Sweet Hour of Muse By Morayo Oshodi

Wide awake at midnight Then a voice in the wind Harsh but true said They think I'd just give up When I'm almost at the end of the tunnel I lay down and slept but my subconscious ranted away... Could this be convention? This smell as rot fish Filling the atmosphere. Alas that I may be choked up in it? When there are waters That haven’t been stirred not to mention rippled. It takes a little time To cock a gun and shoot. Risk is what makes life beautiful Don’t you think so? The confidence that matches up to it tells you you aren't far from your goal. A fearful mind will only bring aches and pain, trouble and distress but a heart that dreads mediocrity is free to explore even the uncultivated land of life When I sleep it's only for a few hours Not that I suffer insomnia It's because there's a new dawn to wake up to

What is your Plan Krispy Kreme?

I have never really been a sweet tooth perhaps because I spent the better part of my time filling or extracting a tooth. The last time I did that I was busy looking for discounts from a student doctor in LUTH who helped me fill my tooth, whew! Thumbs up to all these student doctors who have large hearts. Will talk about how I fell in love with a doctor on the next episode. Back to the matter I just had my first box of Krispy Kreme and I'm like ki le le yi? (What is this) my eyes were popping as I bit into every piece. So, my friends, Dee and Jee got me the box of Krispy Kreme on 26th of March 2018. That early Monday morning on our way to work they greeted me with a box of happy icing glazed doughnuts there and then I knew my week was going to be a sweet one, yea I'm like that - let me just tie it to that. I quickly thought of the best way to eat them, I was going to share some with my colleagues and eat 2 pieces of doughnut max 3 because after 3 rounds I'm satiated - ...
