...In Love
I’m in love
Deeply in love
And well attached
Like Edunjobi of Osun,
That can never be separated.
I’m in love
With those of my kind
Those with strong and black skin
Like that of dusty woods,
That suffered under whip
The whip of humiliation.
I’m in love
Deeply in love with them
For we suffered together
In pains and anguish
In sorrows and fear
To get a touch of liberty in our lives.
I’m in love
Deeply in love
For we have vowed
Vowed to lead and live our lives
Till total liberty wanders our way.

Writer Profile
Damilare
Just like my name Damilare, depicts, I have been set free from all odds of life.
Most of my works are based on Africa. I love Africa so much. My love for this great land is not based its hypocritical admiration by some people. But based on the realization of her past mistakes and to make Her great in future.
I was born and grew up in a tough part of the world. My family is a free type where everyone chooses what he/she wants. This has made me liberal in my thoughts.
I get happy when I read works of Great Black people, especially their works on pan-Africanism.
My regret in life is that; I have not read the works of Marcus Garvey and Du Bois!
