SENTINEL POETRY MOVEMENT

EXPRESSION WAREHOUSE SEPTEMBER 2004

HAFIZ AROMOKUN

sine die

I’m down
feeling inside like a clown
so, so senile
far from agile
then I see your face
adorned with lace
it doesn't matter that you are
from another race
I see your smile
it should take me the whole mile
my excitement's building as fast
as bile
you don't seize to amaze
my mind you still set ablaze

so here's the line
I think you're more than fine
I am and you are
so let's play this game
'can't really place the name
but it's always to do with a dame
and a guy that thinks he could claim
I see God in you and that re-dresses my aim
I rub your back
make sure you never lack
and reciprocity
measures your capacity
keeps you at the peak of your ability
no need for agility
here, it's just plain sensitivity

I fulfil your needs
correct misplaced deeds
the good Lord has blessed us with creeds
so we work hard to try and heed
realizing that's the source of our feeds
we pray he lights up the paths of our seeds
steer them far from greed
and us he still leads
he had heard
we had prayed.
