ABIKU (Durosinmi)

You seem to be the end of every beginning ,
But this time I want you to stay,
Say your price and make your claims .
You can keep mama up
Only if this time you will stay.

You have made papa a mad man.
Abiku, tell me “ what is it you want”?
Far be it that I am too proud to beg,
Cursed be I , should I fold my mouth and cry
If you will stay, let it be now.

“You are the child of the gods” Anzaku says
Carved out of lust,birthed to stay a while ;to quench
a thirst .
All I want are better days knotted with life
But if you plan to leave; hasten your steps
Free us from this bitterness or stay.
