A NIGHT TO TOMORROW - BY ADURAGBEMI BARNABAS

Something so fear full than the den of the lions
A rendezvous of unseen mysterious forces
Many foot steps are seen without their lord
The dark place of the earth with oozing blood
Graveyards of undertakers and forest of unreturned

Outside this dark curtain is the world of unending light
A melliferous place with mellifluous enlightenment
Tranquility in its theory and practice with meticulous obeisance
The denizens are the fools of the wise world with tasty nuance
Banana Republic is erased from its matchless map

How to gain admission to this promise land is unknown
Some toil in sweat and drown in tears with the face of clown
Because the insurmountable night is at hand for the knight
Others gaze at the horizon with great desperation to fight
But the dark hour has obliterate the materialized forlorn hope

Constructive confidence is the designed bullet to hit the night
As mind is prepared to fight in remonstrance and in sight
So that the demon of the unguided hour can lose his fugitive
And the ancient hidden treasure will be unanimously achieved
Then Palm trees with joy bend to the dictate of the rain

Beings of the human are drenched with clamors of the height
Though the trail is free but the fastidious junction is a thing to fight
Cloudy cloud is wiser than the wise and a dictator to the pagan
And the demolition of the Tower of Babel will in last minute began
Because of its shadow that is inaccessible in the dungeon of darkness

Selected roses of human generation across the globe
Previleged to peruse and dissect the veracity of knowledge and hope
Run a race with Aristotle, Socrates, Einstein, and Plato
In reward for medal in form of ink to break the jinx of the ghetto
But the last stage cataclysmic complacency leads to the fall of the hero

Creator's creative creature in crafty calm
Established to maximize the probable possibility of the palm
So that human solution will not only be from ink
But in the abyss of deceit their glory sink
Because they cannot endure the pain on the freedom road


This solace journey to the realm of love
By these tender hearts hand in hand a problem solve
Then many in their thoughts testify that these two are one
But on the way to wedlock are potholes enough to warn
Because the bride and the groom are caught in the web of their stigma

Let me laugh this man of manly heart
Whose possession is in dominion of things on earth
Pious in his way and diligent in his service to humanity
But on the journey to his grave summersaulted in calamity
Because his earthly gory deeds is seen clearly at night

Unto many generation this must be known
That those who in their myopic view fall in the dark should not be clone
Modification of minds in moon light is a trend to follow
Giant of the dark should be defeated at night due to joy of the morrow
So that the promise land can produce its fruit bountifully.




              WORLD BARNABAS.
