A Place Called There

Not too far from here Lies the dream terrace I hear The haven of bliss and solace A glamorous gem of a place The end of a weary quest The trophy in fiery contest Not too far from here Sits the crown we lived to dare Purple pride of an intellectual struggle The green goal of a ceaseless hustle A place we once asked where Still seem so far yet so near. Not too far from here Stand the Mentors we hold dear Men who were not shy to believe Men who fought fear to achieve The exclusive pass to the hall of fame for those whose brand is in their name Your there may differ from mine I run my route and you run thine But run we must run and not turn We sacrifice pleasure and shun fun Because, not too very far from here Is a place called there. Dare to get there. 6:17pm, Friday 5th.April 2013 by C'emeka Mbah www.poeticpowers.blogspot.com, @emekambah2
