Prof. Wole Soyinka @ 90: High Chief (Dr.) Charles Akinde Pays Glowing Tribute
In the land where tales dance in twilight’s gleam,
Where echoes of wisdom weave through dreams,
There stands a titan, aged yet bold,
Wole Soyinka, his story untold.
At ninety years, a legacy’s embrace,
In words, he paints the human race,
With ink that flows like rivers deep,
His voice, a beacon, forever to keep.
Through the rhythms of his pen, we soar,
Exploring realms unseen before,
In plays, in prose, his brilliance shines,
A legacy etched in timeless lines.
In forests dense, where spirits roam,
In city streets, he finds a home,
With each word penned, a revolution’s call,
A testament to freedom for all.
So here’s to Wole Soyinka, at ninety’s gate,
A beacon of light, a laureate great,
May your words continue to ignite,
The flames of truth, in darkness’ fight.
High Chief (Dr.) Charles Akinde, the Osoore of Idanre Kingdom.
