A Traveler's Outcry Poem by Asaolu Abayomi

sail us through the deep
oh emeritus sailor
lead us to our destination
captain of captains
guide us past the walrus
avoid ye the iceberg

stormy cloud beckons
days of peril nearer
slowly down we travel the ocean
rightly done by our handlers
starvation begot us
we had traveled long and far
far to exhaust double of our target
all we see is wild
all we feel is fear

goodies we lacked
our eyes digging the face
our necks can hold water
our bangles and rings falls off
like prisoners our pants drops continuously

we read about you
your greatness led us to your ship
with utmost joy we bashed in
to alight our fear

give us this day another ship
for we fear a great wreck
have we super legs
we would walk out of d deep
just like our Messiah did
have we super gifts
we would fly like Elijah
have we the mind
we would opt for a walrus belly

The end is near
the ship at wreck bay
the future a fear
shall we get home?
save us captain
save us sailor
let not we be devoured
save our future
let not us onto havoc
