The Way Poem by Funkekeme Akposeye

I never took the easy way, never
took the pleasing way
buried my Conscience and dug
up my essence on the way
Fallen heroes, friends and foes I
met along the way,
found peace the strength that
kept me walking
was released on the way as I
lost sight of the stalkers and
hawkers on the way,
I saw and was seen deep in sin
The light that lit the way was
turned on
and I lost my breath needed to
rest but not this way, Salvation I
needed
Impossible to move, this became
the perfect place to rest,
since it seemed
impassible, thought it possible to
stay
and make a better home along
the way my thoughts began to
stray
Rejection only made me more
hungry for success, more angry
for finance
because I knew this was only a
pathway to the highway
I could travel the world but
nothing comes close,
nothing compares to the feeling
of reflection or resurrection of
yesteryears
and the graduation of my
generation from disgrace to
grace
Charley’ s horse caught up with
me on the way
the pain only I felt as I knelt on
the dusty floor
and felt for the counters along
the boundaries of the way
I remember all I had
encountered and found
encouragement,
counting the blessings and the
blessed along the way
as I remember I am still on my
way and with these words
let it be known love is the way in
my world.
