Durodola Folarin Quadri. Born on the first of January 1991. I attended the university of Ibadan as a student of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering. Editor-in-Chief of the departmental press organisation. I like books and one of the best I ever read was Living, Loving and Learning by Professor Felice Leonardo Buscaglia. I enjoy sports and computer games. Poetry gives me succour when I write about how I feel. Most times I write based on real situations because they inspire me more than imagination. I’m quiet and sometimes I’m being labelled as shy, while some simply say I’m an introvert.
If you can hate, why don’t you Love,
Don’t be a snake, just be a dove,
Rise like the sun, open up your arms,
Be that sweet home, keeping us warm,
Make the world smile, happy for real,
Play like a child, who is just healed,
Respect this Life, She’s your true Friend,
For the Future, walk hand-in-hand;
Love instead of hate
If you can Love, why do you hate,
Take off that glove, don’t hurt your mate,
Don’t blame him please, if he’s like coal,
You’re meant to live, for the same goal,
You sons of pains, forget your past,
Snow brought you chains, just bring her grass,
Colours of gold, colours of blood,
Don’t turn cold; we’re from one God;
If you can hate, then you can Love,
Do not frustrate, the Heart of Lord,
Give Him the name, that shall please you,
He’s still the same; He’s just one Truth,
He’s colourless; He’s all on Earth,
Slave and Highness, He’s Life and Death,
He’s the Shepherd, no one’s above,
He’s you and I, the perfect Love.

I need to tell you a story,
A story of you, a story of me,
A story of the place that we lost,
A story of the land with no lust;
It is your story, it is my story,
It is the story of unity;
I need to tell you a story,
A story that you will see
If you walk to the bright future,
That sweet home with no door,
It is your story, it is my story,
It is the story of milk and honey;
A story of us
I need to tell you a story,
A story that you have to be,
Unlike that one you lead,
That one which makes eyes bleed,
It is your story, it is my story,
It is the story of fair and friendly;
I need to tell you a story,
A story of beauty and eternity,
A story of here to be there,
A story of there to come near,
I need to tell you that story,
A story of true and happy.

We express our interpretations of reality in diverse manner
Colors that disperse in such beautiful spectra
Glowing with exceptional radiance
Resplendent in extra-ordinary ambience
They say blue is love
Red is the color of blood
Purple suggests royalty
Gold is said to symbolize wealth and comfort
White is likened to purity
Often also likened to affluence
Green represents positivity
Just the way you feel!
Have you ever dared to ponder upon certain mysteries?
Underlining themes of our very existence
Mysteries such as our everyday sleep
Have you ever wondered why we try, but fail to exist without emotions?
Feelings! As described by some
Endless cyclic phenomena to which even science has failed to proffer adequate theories
The intangibly tangible
That enable us appreciate the very essence of tangibility
Ladies and gentlemen;
I paint before you
Colors of you and colors of me
Actions, Emotions; Perceptions
Tripartite bedrock(s) of our humanity
