The white cane! Opa Afoju!! – Adewale Sobowale
You’ve taken the cane from the blind; You’re now mocking him; Maybe your parents Never told you About Iroko and the child who abused it!

London Tailor! – Adewale Sobowale
Away we go; Our sense of purpose to find; That our homes fail us to find; Not even relevance: Only in our various Londons we can shout – Eureka! Londons in UK, Americas, France, Belgium, Germany, Etcetera! Some of us would have even gone to fight on the side of Russia; You know to be […]
Greying me! – Adewale Sobowale
