Marvelous and thought-provoking\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n An exploration of personal and social issues, Akinyemi\u2019s A Collection of Poetic Wisdom for the Discerning Series is both challenging and visionary. Dead Lion\u2019s Don\u2019t Roar, the first in the series\u2014a collection of symbolic verses that challenges readers to find their unique roar, is divided into four parts\u2014four underlying themes hinged on the title: dead, lion, don\u2019t, and roar as Akinyemi moves easily from personal relationships to social issues. In \u201cSocial Media,\u201d Akinyemi sarcastically defines the meaning of love in today\u2019s social media age. In \u201cBeauty is not Enough,\u201d he ponders how the outside beauty is desired over a person\u2019s true self. \u201cExtra Luggage\u201d is an inspirational poem about shedding toxic relationships. \u201cDomestic Violence\u201d urges the protagonist to break off the shackles and leave the abusive relationship. \u201cDestiny\u201d explores the futility of blaming failures on destiny. The pivotal and deeply motivational \u201cThe Roaring Lion,\u201d urges readers not to listen to their insecurities and failures. Some poems will appeal to a limited number of readers because of their conservative subject matter (in \u201cBucket list,\u201d getting married is at the top of the list for the protagonist; \u201cDignity Park\u201d with its conventional views about a woman celebrating her sexuality). Dead Dogs Don’t Bark, the second book in the series is a luminous, touching ode to the celebration of self and exploration of many social and general life issues. \u201cThe Voice in My Head\u201d carries the powerful message of waging war against failures and insecurities. \u201cStay True\u201d (about staying true to one\u2019s own self), \u201cYou are Beautiful\u201d (celebrate one\u2019s own beauty), \u201cYes You Can\u201d and \u201cTroubled But Not Alone\u201d are deeply motivational while in \u201cBullions in Bourdillon\u201d, \u201cThe Future Leaders of Tomorrow,\u201d and \u201cPharisees and Sadducees\u201d Akinyemi\u2019s tone turns political. The poems in Dead Cats Don\u2019t Meow: the third in the series, dwell majorly on personal issues (In \u201cThis is My Story,\u201d \u201cAugust Fourteen,\u201d and \u201cSouth Shields\u201d the tone is deeply personal). \u201cDead Cats Don\u2019t meow,\u201d the title poem is a powerful message of finding one\u2019s own unique voice. \u201cSilver Lining,\u201d \u201cPassion,\u201d \u201cDepression and Suicidal Thoughts,\u201d and \u201cYou\u2019re Booktiful\u201d are highly motivational. The series displays Akinyemi\u2019s technical dexterity as a veteran poet as he explores different themes such as love, relationships, personal issues, mental health topics, politics, and social concerns among others. Akinyemi is a visionary poet with a fearless voice, and his poems provide a deep sense of everyday life seen through an eyewitness\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marvelous and thought-provoking\u2026 An exploration of personal and social issues, Akinyemi\u2019s A Collection of Poetic Wisdom for the Discerning Series is both challenging and visionary.
