Desire Obaroyeregbe Agbeyiwa Agidotan Ikoyo Poet Narrative

ON MISSION

I'm on a mission 
A vision to liberate my people 
But they named me a villain 
Because they're villagers 
That mission turns me
Into a stranger in my home land
Because they're scared of their shadow 
Keeping them shallow 
Swallowing the truth 
So they live in deceit 
What's easy
Settling for the least 
Because of the test
They avoid the best 
Now they live without rest
Because they're consumers
Not producers
Whatever they get
They spend a lot 
They wander about 
Even just for a meal
Creativity they don't seal
Mediocrity their deals
Trying to fix the past
That's already known 
Instead of facing the future 
That's unknown 
They're afraid of bad days 
Even nature face this stage
Forgetting nature always nurtures us
Showing us according to our thrive 
What you give you get
Maybe you're sharing 
Or probably you stole
That's gonna put sore in your soul 
Instead of becoming whole 
You become a wolf
Not to devour an enemy 
But self devourers.
