Lesser miles to go
Lesser miles to go by Adejola Joseph
Lesser miles to go
Lost and lonely
Bewildered and perplexed
The city's got everybody busy
Palm on my cheek
Pondering what next?
The journey seems far
The task's pretty arduous and burdensome
Where do we go?
What do we do?
With thin eyes I see the future
And I know all we have is... lesser miles to go
Weary and troublesome
We are on the circumference of fate
Emotions tortured by happenings around us
Circumstances forced us to be intolerant and; profusely indignant of one another
Confusions and rage in the air
Loathsomeness and treachery permeates the heart
We are on and off the track
Often times we lose our balance while hanging our fate on deity's resolve
Are we to talk of unconscious rash decisions?
Yes! Like seasons - it comes and goes
No matter how unpredictable the future looks like
I know we have lesser miles to go
Bury your worries
Dig the grave for your anxiety
Overlook the gloom and broom your heart
Get your visions right and view the light
Expansiate your hope and see your peace through the hole of faith
Like a bird let your heart sing
Like a river let your joy flow
Like a tree let your peace sway
We are fine
Oh! We shall be fine
No matter the rays and shadows of hopelessness
I see we have lesser miles to go to our promised land!!!
