The Best Poem Of Sunday Michael Eyitayo

They Had Dreams

He wanted to be the best programmer
He wanted to be better than Bill gates
He would have been, he was determined
He was diligent...
But that drunk driver just killed him

We all knew she had a bright future
We all knew she was going to be a singer
Her melodious voice could raise a dead
And her pretty face was irreplaceable
Yet pelvic cancer took her away

All he dreamed of was to play soccer
In five years time, he would match Ronaldo
He played in the morning, he played at night
But that infected nail pierced his leg
He caught tetanus, and his leg was amputated

Perhaps, he should have dreamed a little earlier
Perhaps, she should have worked on it a little quicker
It all went to the grave as mere dreams, never accomplished
And I thought to myself, why wont the ants be wise
Eating up the brains with such dreams

Most dreams were never accomplished
Most dreams were never known
But I would dream, I would work
Perhaps theirs never came through cause mine
Needed darkness to shine brighter
