Poetry from Adepoju Timileyin

Before I Was Born 

the night before I was born

cloudy night sent me

tons of muse n' caged me on sit


the night before I was born

my life became the only

image my eyelid pledged patriotism


the night before I was born

nightmare became my company

while I'm paranoid by unknown guilt


the night before I was born

I became friend to my future

while my past shallowed tunnel of memory


the night before I was born

I had this writing as prophecy

and for I couldn't wait to write 

it's end, I'm here to attest the living.
