Journey Paused

Our journey got paused I insisted to the passengers Let’s sleep on our way We got to the Ibadan garage 1.05am Then, we move on ‘morrow morning Dissenting voices echoed diverse views I offered to alight at the park Couldn’t put my life at risk Some of my co-travelers concurred We paused at Abuja Park of Ibadan For its of it good to be late than be a late. Alayande Stephen T. 2.25am 21st November, 2007 It was written at the Abuja Garage in Iwo Road, Ibadan on my way to her in Ado-Ekiti.
