We We
WE, WE!
Unknown, strange faces;
We are united
in the experiences
of classes to halls,
of tests to exams,
of rainy and sunny days,
of tears and laughter,
of fear and hope,
of friendship and enmity;
but in Love’s loving arms.
In the darkness of ignorance, we began,
In the light of knowledge, we part.
We were early risers,
We were late comers.
Sometimes united,
Sometimes divided
in this intellectual confinement:
We are imprisoned to embrace freedom,
We are nurtured to become the panacea.
We are departing,
Known, familiar faces.
We, We!
(for my graduating class University of Lagos 2013)
