My story

 From an addict and alcoholic

To an author and workaholic


From Clubber and Dropout 

To a Bookworm and being devout 


From a ladies' man, to noman's land

But now adon calm down😤


From a wild cat and extrovert 

To a gentle dove and introvert


From a Fighter, a barking dog

To a fighter, a roaring Lion


I am AAwuroshi'ye

Sardauna the first

Second to no one

Rhetorodynamics

Nigeria needs not just visionaries 
But revolutionaries 

Buhari, indifferent 😒
Tinubu and Atiku, no different 😏
Obi and kwankwaso, perhaps different 🤷‍♀️

I like Obi's rhetorics
And kwankwaso's dynamics 
The Duo would have made pretty good rhetorodynamics

Well, If I were to vote, I'd vote for the Person not the party

But then a good question is, will My vote even count?
Or do I just sip some coffee and mind My pounds... 
At least for now...
🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

Letter to my father

 Only words of My FATHER I remember are 'how abnormal I am', how odd I am among My Siblings... Days when I felt like a stranger in my own father's house. These words became frequent, even later like music pleasing to My ears.


 I do not know in what context My beloved Father meant these words, but I guess I've come to terms with it. I am perhaps an anomaly. 


My Father says I am abnormal

My Grandfather says I am second to normal

Well I guess They meant, second to no one


In truth, at first My life was a smooth ride until suddenly I slipped. But who's capable of not slipping?

Well I and My MOTHER picked Myself up, for it is Her Who truly is the first, second to no one. 

Pairless and peerless

 Out of My elementary, high school and college pairs, perhaps, I am the only remaining dropout. Meaning I am now Pairless and peerless 


I might be the only Dropout who's yet unwilling to drop back in, meaning I am Careless and fearless 


For no school nor national youth

But I shall educate Myself


Like Malcolm x and Henry Ford 

And Ali and Elon Musk 

This is a must 

I am Sardauna the first

Second to none

By sd Abdul-Rahman

 AAwuroshi'ye, a passion for poetry

Like Ladi kwali's, for pottery


Poetry altered grammatically

Flow naturally and indeed magically


Through the mind like a lullaby

Tomorrow, a mastercraft in automobile


AAwuroshi'ye, Having passed through and passed countless tests

That only a few have had a taste


Surely is He a Man blessed

Though to many, not a model nor personal best


But a versatile personality of unique uniqueness

For AAwuroshi'ye like Ali, is the greatest

This time

 This time a rhyme I write


But no song no doubt 

Now, maybe a dropout... 

But not down, not out 


Henceforth, less sleep on the couch


For consistently, the books I browse 

But no school, nor convocation gown

For the Ford, Elon and malcolm in Me, aroused


Hence a little devout 


If I may, then build the empire I desire, make it sound

Then scout and espouse My spicy Spouses

My fantastic four, wow... The Fela in Me aroused 


Ambition tall, Peter Crouch 

But We're devout 

And not down, not out 


This time a rhyme I write 

But no song, no doubt 


For I am AAwuroshi'ye

My personality, My crown 👑 

Friends but no friends

 A true friend is priceless 

A Client is priceless 


But a mere Friend is no friend except with benefit

For no benefit, then no friendship 


A Mentor is better than a mere Friend no offence 


I am a Lion for I have no Friends 

But I am a gentle dove for I have Mentors and Clients 


You too have no Friends, only you don't know yet


A true Friend is priceless

A Mentor or a Client is priceless


And My Clients, Mentorsare My true Friends 

My story

 From an addict and alcoholic To an author and workaholic From Clubber and Dropout  To a Bookworm and being devout  From a ladies' man, ...
