2015 Poem by Babatunde Aremu
2015
I am neither a prophet
Nor am I a clairvoyant
But I have enough experience
To look into the seeds of time
To determine which one can grow or not
By events of previous years and now
I can predict the coming season
2015 is on the way
If you are in another land
You may not know what's in stock
2015 is pregnant
The billboards herald her coming
Posters reeling our fake promises
Are being designed by curious artists
Our political lords are battle ready
Their garments are well ironed
Their instruments: tricks, intimidation,
Deception, maiming and bayonets
Are well incubated and sharpened
To maintain their dynasties
They zoom up and down
Like an owl that flies at midnight
They neither sleep nor rest
Until 2015 is bent to their wishes
A prophetic verdict on 2015..... This is the most likely scenario which we can draw from the present state of affairs. Let us hope that things will clear up and such a situation will not emerge in the dismal way as we fear! A great write!

A Fantastic write, or one can say prediction for 2015. Very true said, many targets are to be accomplished, at the end of 2014 one can calculate how much is to be carried forward to next year 2015. Let us only hope for the best, if much is not be carried forward to next year.........Loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.
