Sailing on the sea of dreams -By Olaniyi Abdulwaheed
There in the ocean of our missions
We paddle the boat of our goals
Just to arrive at the shore of possibilities
But the reality tints the eyes of the binoculars of our fates
Fearful we are in the dangling sea of life
Wailing as we are sailing with the oars
Of sparkling pearls of certificates,
But stranded, starved
While feeding the empty ships of grades
While being bitten by the toothless termites, itching the soul of our dreams
Through sky-high hike in tuitions.
While calling mother at home, she said.
'the sky has changed her garment and the way to farm has been adjusted: the world, our world, has worn a new pair of trousers,
Tattered like the glowing mud of saliva,
Our tongues is being tortured in the prison of silence
Forlorn the hope of novel ages,
Engineered by the tools of gluttony ,' she said.
