POEM: Independent By Adesunwon Babatunde Habideen

-

 






In the journey of our race, yet a lot of blame aim.

Truly fierce with piercing touch,

Build in the enhance absorber.

The big race of ours, filled with empty but.


Should I blame my father for failure,

Or my race for incompetence.

Or the rulers for their myopic vision.


Left with rage and anger; tumors and pain.

The descendants of glory, I am called.

The future of our race, we're named.

.

But all was just a bluff, facade and empty claim.

Literally we're our tomorrow, yet we're shunned by our race.

Typically we're just a pawn in ocean, still beckons on our glory.


If only I had the gut to speak, then will i spit out my pain.

If I can just fight, then my sword will be smoothen.

But I'm just a boy with no claim to aim.


Time's come for I to set it right,

Driving out my thoughts and playing my part.

Even when all was being claimed behind my breath.

It's time I played my insignificant major part.
