AKE: THE BEATS OF IROKO, Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Simeon, Nigeria Jun 1, 2007
Media , Culture , Human Rights   Poetry

  


The sage of letters drew
His strength from the pouch
Of knowledge

Where mighty men fail
To listen, word dazzle the
Mind, Ninny men disguised

In a wise cloak, claiming to be
Wise, but Ake: The beats of iroko,
Whips lustful Men of power and

Intrigue became a passion, a
Power play, six fifth under
Awaits, once a day of sorrow

But men will rejoice at their wake.
Ake: the voice of Iroko, the
Czar of letter, thy path glitters

With words, of which I intend
To trail. Ake: the beats of Iroko,
Thy words play in my mind

As I lay ruminating it
Content: a guide to my Feet,
Lest I fall by the way side.

Ake: the beats of iroko
Thy word springs: a Fountain:
For knowledge Sort by the wise

Ake: the beats of Iroko
Thy word as thy world a
Living legend: I adore.

Celebration of Wole Soyinka

Writer Profile
Simeon


I am a graduate of business administration(marketing major) with diplomas in data processing and system engineering. I love the arts: poetry, painting and writing. However what makes a man is not in looks or interest but how positively he affects others and make the best out of people. I owe that to myself to get the best things out of life....My work revolves around information Technology, with the challenges of every day living...we are left with problems to deal with and the economy to contend with. This perharps defines my involvement in undertaking research into Development issues: personal development, job creation throught the ICT or e-commerce, which has been challenging with a lot of nocks and failure, I came up with the Brand TICK = art breakthrough as an approach to problesm solving personal development and wealth creation.
