She’s been on a journey
Just one of so many
And right now she’s headed home
She’s a house wife
Her family her life
On a trip to see her mum
He’s a young man
The pride of his clan
On one of his hustling trips
He’s old and rich
Round like sandwich
His wealth, you’d wish for keeps
She’s a little girl
And a little frail
But scampers about like a deer
He’s beaming with joy
Just got a new toy
At home, his dear friends will hear
He’s a short white guy
On a funny tie
So sleepy he misses his bed
She’s black as charcoal
And tall as a pole
Just a few more days to be wed
Some granny looks left
And lets out a sigh
“This child looks unkempt
That young boy seems high”
The man on his right
Is clearly Muslim
And he a church knight
Back from a pilgrim
Did that guy just smile at her
She’s met cute guys, just a few
She’d love to have his number
Could be the start of something new
One just left a dearest one
Another awaited by a relation
One thing they have in common
For now- their destination
Here comes some strange scary sound
With conclusions finally drawn
They’re hereby destruction bound
Sometime soon, they’ll all be gone
Painfully, that time draws near
Old granny clings to her chair
Happy boy crouches in fear
Little girl lets out a tear
The lady in a suite
The guy she thought was cute
The old and wealthy man
The young pride of his clan
The white short sleepy nerd
The black soon-to-be-wed
The Muslim and the knight
The man with fading sight
A scream, a solemn prayer
Some mighty hope
Hangs on a rope
Prepare to meet your maker
Looms in the air
Full of despair
As time runs out
Their hands bind fast
All in a single prayer
With not one doubt
This is their last
“God make our country better”
May better days come, and bring us smiles and bouts of laughter…
@chizorom, misty eye’s here sis… When it comes down to it, we all speak one language in prayer.
