Rule Your World

I have no world of mine My world is that of the beginning Full of void, trouble and chaos And on sojourn to an abysmal pit I have no world in my word For there is no word to vivid my world Anguish, pain, hopelessness is of my world Still looking forward to a world Not only of empty words But that of freedom which twirls joy in my world I still thought I have no world of mine Until I met an emerging movement Sweeping all with an unimaginable pride It restored our hope with hope As we started glowing with pride For the first time in our life Our world began to have meaning We sigh . . . breath in with joy As it wore for us a toga of fulfillment And gave us cap of opportunities Alas! we experienced peace and love With a beaming smile full of triumph We begin to rule our world. Alayande Stephen T. 11.15am 8th March, 2007 On my way to Ijanikin for Bukky’s Graduation I School, Waiting for Daddy and Mummy at Mosalasi, Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos. It is a special one for Nigerian and African brightest and fastest growing Telecommunication brand called GLO, whose latest slogan is “Rule your world”.
