Ajayi Rasheed Poet Didactic

Before My Demise

MY SHELTER,
I SHALL POSSESS
BEFORE MY DEMISE

MY HORSE,
I SHALL RIDE
BEFORE MY DEMISE

MY GENERATION
I SHALL REGENERATE
BEFORE MY DEMISE

MY APEX ,
I SHALL REACH 
BEFORE MY DEMISE

EVERY MAN,
 I SHALL BRING 
UNDER MY FOOT
BEFORE MY DEMISE

THE ENTIRE GLOBE,
I SHALL REACH
BEFORE MY DEMISE

BUT, AFTER MY DEMISE 
ALL TURNED VANITY
WITH MY SINGULARITY
IN INTERMENT 

BEFORE MY DEMISE 
SELF-CENTERED,
EGOISM,
INTRANSIGENCE,
AND INORDINATE AMBITION
MY IMBIBED CULTURE

WHY MY DEMAND FOR ALL
AS SINGULAR ACHIEVABLE
DEMISE IS THE MAN
ACHIEVABLE
