Poetry ; CHILDHOOD by Ajibaye Qusamat and Abdul-Rahman Akinyemi

AJIBAYE QUSAMAT 

Lost in this world full of misery and wonders,

Have you ever wondered where the happiness lies ,

Have you ever taken the break to think through the world's problem? 

Are you happy?

Childhood ,

We made different memories ,

Even in pain and tears ,

We smile through all worries ,

Our playmates ,

Everything was less a problem,

Some lost their childhood ,

Some grew up with hatred and guilt ,

Some never received any love ,

Growing up made us lose it ,

Been adult you live in worries ?

Thinking about how and what matters ,

A lot of wrongs ,

Have been committed, 

A lot have been misinterpreted 

All in the name of 

Am all grown up or freedom .

Sarah Addison Allen quote still stuck in my head.

AKINYEMI ABDULRAHMAN  

Wonder I in the world of misery 

With friend that Poetry is her beauty

Realize we that, 

Happiness was childhood

Childhood was joy

Then, we walk anywhere

Talk anywhere

We fear not ,no place 

Believe not, no superstition

Then, doubt was absent 

Trust, was ever present 

Happiness is trust

Trusted I was my entire hood

Trusted entire hood was I

All were friends, friend was I

Then, 

Hide not we, in rain

Play we did,  in pain

Tears together in sand

Childhood was freedom 

In pants and nakedness we dom

The farm, Yard and 

Race we, in the flood

Now, I am grown, she is big

Now, growth is he, Youth is us

We subscribed fully to,

Restriction in disguise of class

Walk, we can't in the rain

Fully cherished by us, is

Criteria for friendship 

Compatibility test we call it

Big grin on our faces

I held her with a cold grip

We have to worry less

Because, we left childhood 

Happiness is joy

Joy is freedom 

Freedom is trust

Friendship is trust 

Trust is love

Love is unity

Unity is happiness 

Happiness was childhood.
