Poem
Today there was no electricity So I slept off the day Most of the nights past had been so long Soon it was as usual Went into my past It wasn’t as enticing Still a lot of mediocrity Met a few friends Still as they were when I left Soon I found myself with someone I love so much Still as pessimistic and unhappy as she has always been God, thanks I still have some self esteem For the past I had was tailored to make me believe ...that there was nothing I could achieve Soon I realised a dream I was in a media house feeling so ecstatic But something interrupted the TV It appeared as though it was a coup from the 60’s The broadcast was shut Then on the screen I saw three earthquakes or volcanoes Couldn’t really tell what coz the map was geographic The three volcanoes or earthquakes were due to hit my country One around Lake Turkana the other two down in the Coast Somewhere in the Indian Ocean I know not what to make of that dream Then I was somewhere in Iowa or Ohio Couldn’t tell where of the two it really was In a state that had a railway station, a factory and only three residents Wondered how they got along Soon I was in another county in the 1880’s Here I met a lovely family of many They were struggling just to get by And there was a young man just my age You could see in his face that he was a dreamer And for sure he dreamt big The strong sugarless tea and crusty bread ...couldn’t work for him anymore In his soft voice I had strong resolve He was gonna go and build his home stark in the middle of his dreams And before I could see the intensity in his eyes He was gone His former home didn’t even miss him As I rubbed off my eyes to wake up at five His is the first dream that came to mind And yes, as sure as I was he would succeed So shall I
