What strikes our innocence as we grow The society or our dogmatic refusal to change? Curiosity has killed our cats Viciously leaving their carcasses to our foes  Seen a lot of maze stuck fellows Running the cycle of hates and hallows Buried in the dug of insecurities  Thinking everyone is their enemy  Selfishness to self incurred  Damaging the very core of their existence  Culture leaving them ravaged in poverty Abuse never leave their polity  Greed soliciting their deprived minds So many never bother to fight back Accepting the hospitality of an enemy  Sleeping with a stranger -Ayo Obi  #society #obismiles

You steal from your future by the negligence of today Priding yourself with your ill-gotten wealth Deluded by the composite companionship with fools Who bewitched you? Greed or pride? Why are you foolish? Who says hard work brings no gain? Or labor doesn’t produce fruits? The lazy look for quick fixes Thinking tomorrow is a decade away  And the day after a century  Make hay while the time is right -Ayo Obi #obismiles #Prejudice #poetry #lagos

#LoveIsAyo I learnt the hard way what love really means I thought I knew what love is Truly love is all you’ve heard and more But not all it is Love is sacrifice  I’m sure you don’t know what is Love is giving your all And not expecting more than this Love taught me hard That am still struggling still  “I love you” is sweet to say but it’s more than these words Love is accepting the unseen And trusting all you see Love fills a void that no one can fill But you -Ayo Obi #LoveIsAyo #obismiles  #lovestory  #valentinesday

I tried so hard to put the equation of my life together  I tried plus and minus Trying to get the answer Without your help Every trial points me back to x Why x??? I fussed My reality is only clearer  With you beside me Your light shining my path As I walk with you I became convinced of your plans  and purpose  As I pursue your reality for me The reality of the x  Factored into my unexpected equation Makes my life easy  And my journey light I paused for a second Rewinded to the equation Then i realized my x  Is no other person but you All the while   -Ayo Obi
