Oluseyi Akinbami Poet I do not know?

The Dusty Book On the Shelve

If you were told 

That the last summer will be the last
that winter would be long 
That nations will be on lock-down
would you believe? 

That the money in the bank will be useless 
that another vacation will be cancelled 
because the planes are grounded 
will you believe?

That humans will avoid themselves 
that churches will be closed 
that everyone will be garbed with face fence
compelled to stay isolated
will you believe

That hospitals will be flooded 
Global economy weakened 
World leaders confused 
will you believe?

Or that that the end is near 
apocalypse or a catastrophe is imminent 
that your freedom will be taken away 
will you believe ?

Maybe you wont like many skeptics 
But you were told,  
from the old but new dusty book on the shelve.
