Where Lies the Hope

Then... Things were easy A n rowo jaye A n dunnu... Life was simply rosy... We rejoiced at waste... Where lies the hope? Now... We are at a standstill We move not We are waiting for Godot... Ise ti bawa mule Bi egbe isu... Things are rock hard The waste of yesteryears Are the wholesome meals Of today... Where lies the hope? Tomorrow... Looks highly bleak As today is writeless... Isn't today the harbinger Of tomorrow's hues and cries? Just as yesterday Brought the news Of today's woes... Where lies the hope? Is there hope As you watch the horizon? I see none... If you see Tell me... ... Where lies the hope?
