Shina Olusanya, the Poet

FEATURED POEM

Shina — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 17:03:00 +0000

Sleep

It was late in the night

The mind flew …Eh!

What could the soul feel?

Idle lay the weary heel.

Prophecies are here foretold.

I hear some nocturnal bird howl

Not for me the melancholic cry!

Merrily, merrily

To sing!

Members Comment Page

NOSPETCO has refused to return investors’ money (capital+interest): made up of millions and billions of Naira collected individually from innocent Nigerian citizens by Alhaji Maiyaki.

Maiyaki’s poetry is evidently an elegy! A dirge.

The Nospetco Investor’s Association Committee/Forum ‘s email address is: nospetcoforum@yahoo.com

Mail the committee today at nospetcoforum@yahoo.com

to contribute your suggestions, observations, comments etc. (Your input may just be what is needed to solve this problem.)

Headlines (poem)

Shina — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 14:02:00 +0000

It saddens

Horse rides ‘rider’

Worm eats pig

Ward slaps parent

Son curses mum

Dad docks daughter.

Goat eats kid,

Leaving straw fallow.

Dog eats babe

Servants manage master,

Pupils beat teacher.

It saddens

When tenants

Share landlord’s gold.

Vehicle drives ‘driver’

When anarchy turns government

Future swaps for pleasure.

- Adeshina Olusanya
