Johannesburg by Feyisayo Anjorin

Writing on the walls of history
in the city of gold
keeps you on your toes
fixes your eyes on your goals

Give the flesh to the soul
and give the spirit the key
but never sell your soul
in the city of gold

A word spoken
like an egg broken
break eggs in the city of gold
your secret whispers will soon be known

Taste the wine and the bile
drain the strength of your breath
but never end like the vile
in the city of gold

Akure by Feyisayo Anjorin

Words are beautiful,
Some things are more than words;
Words could bind like cords,
Words could capture and keep in bounds.

Who says words wont fly in the air
Like arrows in a battlefield?
We would build a shield with words,
Words served our enemies, words are our friendly shield;
We will gird ourselves with the words of our lovers.

Akure,
The name of my town;
We lay down our swords and kill with words,
Chocolate brown, cocoa brown, hilly town,
We are born to build and kill with words.
