An ode to legend Tola Adeniyi, By Kemi Amusan

Image result for tola adeniyi photosIn his hand gliding so smoothly
Ageless golden pen of knowledge
In sync with his brain so rare
Spewing knowledge so timeless
With powerful eyes piercing him admirably
And ageless hands clapping in sync
He stool with elegant posh and poise
Spewing grace, guidance and gratitude
Reveling in the euphoria of deserved encomiums
Escaped my eyes tiny drops of shinning silver
For a man whose tireless pen and paper
Continuously labour to build a virile Nigeria in vile Nigeria
And Amidst involuntary joyous tears
Heaved I a sigh so selfish
How divinely lucky is Lady Kay
To have a father in the legend so rare.
…Kemi Amusan, Montreal, Canada. March 3, 2018
