Last Designation: Signboard Poem by Vincent Onyeche

Last Designation: Signboard

Rating: 5.0


Walking down the road
Road mouthful of air
Straight and so many bends
I see natives
Natives laughing and crying
Hankies wet and dried
Mouths silent and buzzing
I focus on the positive
Signboards showed all even negative
The mouthful of air is hard

Dusts fill the eyes I focus on positive
Opening my eyes, I see airplanes up the sky
Trains underground, hills and valleys
I see cars still and moving
Ones beating twice shy
No signboard warns twice
I kept moving reading all signs
Good and bad, hate and love
But the most difficult sign is empathy
Especially when it says, I Love You.
