Dawn Like Never Before

DAWN LIKE NEVER BEFORE As I gripped my pen to write Tears trickled down my cheeks in delight There is a man with a conscience As systematic as science His voice rang clearly as the sound of a gong And his lyrics as soft as love song The strive began twelve-years ago Along an irresistible tempest blow Stumbled but never fell flat To the scary screeching of the bat Crawling through the long and dark tunnel And hope was his only gel When tears rolled down his steep face It flowed to God's corridor and begot grace Suddenly light glistened at the tunnel end And happiness thickened and refused to bend Contorted twists hurriedly ran And gentle breeze was felt from the fan I saw the dove coo and the falcons chant Even naked democracy wore a green pant Then minds ran faster than Hussein Bolt Without intimidation of the thunderbolt Vibration of victory felt in the earth crust Without a sinister of any outburst This is no less an important water shed So no more tears to shed There is a great lesson to be learnt here Ears open and hear me everywhere Never toy with the immutable and supreme being That's what I told adherents of dry gin This poem is dedicated to General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) Who won the Nigerian presidential election few days ago.This poem shows his strive,victory,relief, and lessons.
