Time Plagues The Mind Poem by tolu ogundare

Time Plagues The Mind



hold my hands,
let me take you
lands away
to a place -
where words fly
beyond the colors
of black and white.

sail with me,
the seas have stayed their tides
in tender regard
for the land of battle -
where the mind
defeats the plagues of time.

time won't stop!
the mind would run -
would sweat
gallons of sweat;
would wear and ache
as it runs for victory...

and when the battle is over,
history would forget-
the wear,
the sweat, the ache and all
but one:

that the seeds of battle-
the words that fly,
fly timelessly;
each timeless flight beyond the colors
of black and white.
