Release Us, We Plead; A poem against Child Abuse ✍ Tuyi Tosin



We were stripped of our childhood
And walked naked into severe torture
Feigned in an act of nurture
Thru hades we trekked  barefoot

Release us we plead,

We prisoners of slavery
Captives of ruthlessness
The eaglet is now caged with the cassowary
Unable to predict its future like the game of chess

With contempt, we faced the wrath of the wire
Opened between fire
Those strokes landed on our backs like thunderbolt
It sends cold sensation down our spine thru our coat

Hey Sire,

You said we are the leaders of tomorrow
But your curse has affected our soul
Unto it, you bore a hole
As you tongue-lashed our destiny into the burning coal

Release us, we plead

We hope you take heed
In agony, our heart bleeds
Freedom, our childhood needs
For its creed, is our meed.

Yours sincerely,
Loyal Activist,
✍Tuyi Tosin.

Armed Beggars; a poem ✍ Tuyi Tosin



You said 'At ease'
I said 'Attention'
You were meant to ensure peace
But ended up staking the life of the nation

You traded our well being for a piece of meat
Your greed has turned you to beggars on the street
Armed beggars 'being given money without sympathy
You ended up deteriorating your dignity

With fury raging in your eyes
You sent an esoteric signal in disguise
Then you say 'Oya do normal
Or else, it becomes critical'

The quiescent driver hands over the 'green note' surreptitiously
You then walk off to another 'majestically
Leaving the poor man in agony

This is a nation
Where beggars are armed
I say stand at attention
For our policemen now beg for alms

Yours sincerely,
Loyal Activist,
✍Tuyi Tosin.

Momma's Advice; a poem ✍ Tuyi Tosin




Momma said

Work hard
To never fall into the Lazarus band
Tighten your belt, buckle your shoe
Do good, be trustworthy and be responsible

Be swift to hear and slow to speak
Pray fervently
Eat gently
Aim high, for the sky is your peak

Momma said

Do not judge any book by its cover
Coz not all precious stones glitter
Read the content in those pages
Understand its rudiment and basis

Momma said

Fly alone and soar like the eagle
And never flock with sparrows
Never move with lazy people
So as to ride exotic cars, and not push wheelbarrows

Yours sincerely,
Loyal Activist,

In The Dawn Of Time; a poem ✍ Tuyi Tosin



In the dawn of time

The golden-sceptre whirled in the palms of Man
In great awe the universe genuflects to the Royal Clan
His deeds are carved on the Stone of History
Unable to fathom, it was weaved in mystery

In the dawn of time

The roaring torrent buffet in fear
For the lusty sinews, it was unable to bear
The twelve tribes provoked the flames of the atmosphere
Causing the golden altar to incinerate,the prophets couldn't dare

In the dawn of time

The celestial bodies were startled by the royal command
It gave out its brimstone for the incessant demand
A noble servant, it's glory shone across the ground
Praise Ye O Lord! It cries aloud

In the dawn of time

An ode to works of the desperate men of the ages
Irresistible are their works, done in different phases
Their philosophy has left scribblings on time pages.

Yours sincerely,
Loyal Activist,
✍Tuyi Tosin.

The Foreign Soil; Message to Mankind by Tuyi Tosin

This message goes to anyone reading this post.

  One of the main reason why the world, the economy, human standard of living hasn't progressed or moved forward generally is because You, coz you have decided to plant your seed in the wrong soil; the 'Foreign Soil' .
   You have allowed circumstances to tamper and dent your dreams, ambitions and vision. Note: You are NOT a mistake on this earth.
You were born to FILL A VOID on earth. You were born to make changes in some areas . Do you even know maybe you are the messiah sent to relieve your country of the pain, mayhem, and havoc it is going through right now. You were not created to just go, or soar through this world and just leave without having any Impact. 
  Inside you lies a seed. The seed that contains different Dreams, gifts, talents , inventions , and changes that you want to deposit on this earth . 
You cannot just accept the status quo . I don't care maybe you are a graduate or not, learned or not, literate or non-literate , What I am just trying to convey to you is that I NEED YOU, THIS WORLD NEEDS YOU, This world, your family, your society and your universe needs those dreams and inventions that lies inside of you . Take for instance , had it been Steve Jobs had judged himself by his dropping out of Stanford to tamper or have effect on that dream and invention that lies within him, I don't think you would be able to buga with that Apple Inc product you posses. 
   Know today that 'IN EVERY SEED LIES A FOREST' . That Seed that lies inside you needs to be planted , and planted in the Right Soil . An apple seed cannot be planted in the desert , so RECOGNISE and UNDERSTAND your seed (i.e. the dreams and ambitions that lies in you), after then look for the right soil for your seed to be planted , this may require that you move outside your comfort zone . Cultivate your seed i.e. WORK and invent that product that lies inside you. Then you would have an impact.
   Do this and stop envying your colleague or another person's success in Life.

Shun IT; a poem by Tuyi Tosin

Shun IT!

Shun those words from the Commander
Whose nefarious army has marched into your inner chamber
Making you obey the official order

Shun it through fasting and prayer
To avoid falling into the pit of deceptive desire
Fashioned from the devil's empire

Meditate on God's word in the Scripture
When you are struck by those evil thoughts as hurricane strikes nature
So as to keep your today secure
And posses a brighter future.

You might have been trying
But kept falling
Just believe Christ saves and also He is still coming
When those Army of Enticement are knocking
Shun IT!

Yours sincerely,
Your Activist.
Tuyi Tosin.

The Christmas Song; A poem by Tuyi Tosin

The Christmas Song

The gong is stricken furiously
Dancing to the rhythm hysterically
Making the jolly go folly

Oh;
Jingle bell
Jingle bell
Jingle all the way
Jingle all the way to the balling room
Away into eternal doom

Composed to unveil Christ birth
Ended up subjecting Him to a second death

Atavistically in Christ's Honour
Mistaken for glitz and glamour
Resulted men in the beer-parlour
"Merry Christmas" they say,drinking to stupor

Oh;
Jingle the bell
Straight to hell
Strike the gong
Sing the song

Wrapped in the warm arms of a cyprian
Lost in a mirage of pleasure
Dominating like the Sultan
For a length of time that can't be measured

The Christmas Song

Is this what it is all about
Making a noise with different shout-out
Dancing to the lyrics
Forgetting the theme of the song
Wasting ourselves in the picnics
By the tune from the Gong
