Explain my feelings
My words
Express my worlds
Read my piece
See my ‘is’
It was born
Out of my worn
Sometimes I speak softly
Other times I come funny
Sometimes I am harsh
Other times I might cause a clash
But I am that voice
That cries
With words on pages
“Let there be changes”
That man of the pen
Bringing good tidings to all men
That writing chap
Whose pen won’t take a nap
Till peace abounds
On all grounds

EDITOR’S COMMENT
Oku-ola Paul Abiola is a personal friend and one of WRR’s most ardent followers. His writing style is one that I appreciate a lot, with messages that the world cannot have too much of.
Though, like most WRR members, he is a poet in the making, his poems are simple without being simplistic. I would read him any day, anytime.
