Sun Gal (Poetry by Otatade Okojie)

Image
  Sun gal (For Otatade) I am the sun;  I am the Earth  I have been rain  I have been dirt  I'm a shadow in corners,  A celebrity in sight  I am contagious,  But I'm not always right.  Were learning,  We are;  Two dolphins in the ocean  Knowledge is backwards  Sometimes in slow motion  I am the king,  Amongst a tribe of his men  I am the villagers who hover  And then  I am the janitor  Striving for keep  Toiling over time  And under time in his sleep;  I am the wisdom  I am the glory  I am the meaning  In an old prophets story  I am your patience,  I am your mind,  I am the challenge  Beelzebul Want's to find  Started from everything  From ten down to one  I am still the ocean  I still the sun.  Goliath may be growing  David keeps on  Going,  The strength in me  Will rise hundred fold  For Behold,  I AM THE SUN  I am god's gold   https://gofund.me/61cdb27f Hotbox Youtube Channel https://youtu.be/gqf6zb0Ov2U https://www.amazon.

The cat near the hot tin roof ( Otatade Okojie Poetry)

Image
   The cat near the hot tin roof,  Was careful where it stepped,  It didn't want to burn it's toes  Or accidentally break it's neck,  It didn't want to scrape over,  And blaze it's fur,  So it kept it's distance,  Not going Near,  But cat,  The roof has cooled now,  But still it purrs ,  When will you climb  And brace your wall,  So you can hold your head up tall,  Night turns to day,  Day turns to night,  This tired cat ,  Has wall in Sight,  This creature,  So regal,  So bold,  And so brave,  Meditates on how to behave,  Which way do I climb,  Without getting burnt,  But cat things have turned  And you should have learnt,  You can't go this way, that way or that,  You should be ready to face your spat.  Day turns to night and night turns to day,  Disapointedly the cat meows away. https://gofund.me/61cdb27f Hotbox Youtube Channel https://youtu.be/gqf6zb0Ov2U https://www.amazon.co.uk/Counting-pennies-Mars-Otatade-collection-eboo

The Man who walked for Miles (Otatade Okojie Poetry)

Image
   The man who walked for miles,  Just doesn't exist,  I commend the ideal  That one should persist  But hey;  This man had to rest,  And stop and catch his breath,  Otherwise he would fall and catch his death.  He even looked back into the past,  That didn't stop him from moving fast,  No.  Sometimes, this brave tired old man as he,  Had to go back in time and see,  What was on his mind,  What he'd left behind,  And turn then walk away.  This is the story of the man that walked for miles,  Who had his burden slung on his shoulder,  Who travelled on,  Who kept strong,  Till he was older,  Much older,  For time never stops,  Doesn't just start and never finish,  Time and change,  Does not diminish.  This man now rests,  Legs stretched to unfold,  Without this journey,  His quest would never be told. https://gofund.me/61cdb27f Hotbox Youtube Channel https://youtu.be/gqf6zb0Ov2U https://www.amazon.co.uk/Counting-pennies-Mars-Otatade-collection-
