Bunmi - Ever Since You Left! Poem by Jude Ogunade

Ever since you left,
I have been unkempt.
The sun drying my tears.
The moon habouring my fears.

Bunmi, you are the lion
Belching in valiant actions.
Bunmi, you are the diamond
Tightening our brotherly bond.

No food tasty enough,
Only knowledge I plough
My tears like torrents,
Tearing my nightly tents.

The callousness of virtue,
Aids the triumph of evil.
A score year and seven,
Leaves me sorely even.

Evil now insults virtues.
Discipline eats residues.
Indolence berates valour.
Innocence emits rancour.

Ever since you left,
I have been unkempt.
The sun drying my tears.
The moon habouring my fears.
