World Of Our Own Poem by Adewale Ajakanri

Living a world of our own
In tears and laughter
Hundreds are rich
Millions are poor
The bad are alive
The saints are dead

We live in our world in our own path
It's been a while
A while since I put my fingers to these keys
A while since I expressed my sorrows to the world
This world of chaos and confusion
Time speeds as I sit in my garden
Thinking where I have been these past few weeks

I have walked among the reads
I have laughed and cried with the living ones
I have seen things I never thought were true
Things out of story books
A fantasy land of explicit images and magical
colors

Individuals dropped me for their own self
gratification
To clear their mind of the things that meant
nothing to them
Once you have fame and wealth
You are living a life with so much concerns
But if you are poor
You live a life of your own


I have many questions I need to ask my self
I have many to ask the world
But I think I'll start with GOD
Where are you when the shades go down and my
mind speeds into the black hole of self guilt and
mutilation of the mind and soul

Where are you in tears of shame

Where are you at this time, in this minute, this
very second

In the deep creases of my palms, I will search for
you
In bloody veins I will set sale on a never ending
journey

And I will not end till I find you(GOD)
Cos we can't continue living a world of our own in sorrows and tears.......
