 BLEAK FUTURE #IDEYVEX BY HUMPHREY ADUN

 BLEAK FUTURE #IDEYVEX BY HUMPHREY ADUN
April 25, 2017
Poetry

It’s true the future is plane but we need a pen

Even the sand beneath our feet is used to build fences

Yesterday was ruined, today is impregnated with hope, aborted

The compass is broken, shattered glasses, we cant speak of tomorrow

A den ti n gbadura (weve been praying), the roof is made of steel, the answers are our echoes

The land soak up the sprinkles of the rain, the ground stay dry

The sky stay high, youths hustling hard, building ladders, the future stay higher

So we feed on our dreams, and sow the crumps on the soils of religion

We suppose dey the frontline, calling the shots in a tactical agenda for glory

The story is stale, different chapters same theme, we only await gory tales

On a forced match to the Eldorado is only a remnant

7000 littered on the edges of old paged papers

Deafened to the noise of mediocrity, christened rebels

Ehn bo se ma ri niyen, a ma de be (Thats how it is, we`ll get there)

Unity is our guide; Believe is the springboard, our flight
When you wake up to cries, you don’t go back to sleep!
