Time

Wake up! Wake up!! It's dawn Time crawling stealthily slipping away to oblivion What a doom lies awaiting treasure keepers Oh,what a doom The world's listening ear has no choice What an opinion do you think she has When all she can do is listen with her hitching ears, Begging. Indeed can she wait any longer for your manifestations? No. Ripe is the hour Yellow like fresh bananas from Benin Pick it up and don't let it die Here is a challenge to be your best Please don't settle for less

Thank you for sharing your poetry Opemipo. Poets here offer such diverse writings and to me it is a pleasure to read each and everyone. I will not be here at the Soup to read from Friday through Monday. I hope you will find mountains of inspiration during that time. I look forward to reading when I return. Have a great weekend. Love, Carol
