Letters From The Soul Poem by Raimi Babatunde

What you do not understand
You despise
What you do not respect
You do not attract

What you do not desire
You do not experience
What you do not give
You do not receive

Made in his image and likeness
He appointed officers over his people
Using the vessel of the electorates
Because life abhors vacuum

He alone enthrones
Hands a mantle of authority
Towards the betterment of humanity
Guiding our affairs with divine wisdom

Those who force themselves to leadership
Without being called to serve
Without the innate desire to assist
Eventually crawls out of the system

As we go into our election proper
Let us avoid hate speeches
We all have exclusive rights
A right to exercise our franchise

As you cast your votes
Be guided by conscience
Our greatest Police
And it will end in praise

No man can allow a 2 year old drive
For the love he has for the child
For surely it will be calamitous
Whatever you do on sentiment
You will always regret

Remember my Dear Coursemate
Before MBA we were
After MBA we will still be
We havesocial responsibility

Come out in numbers and vote
Let the town criers sound the gong
As my friend in the Village of "Umu Nnam"
That we may build an Association
An MBA of our dreams

Surely our vote will count
That we may leave a legacy
On the sands of time
Maybe history will be kind to us

Let us build bridges not walls
A platform where every one can fly
As principalities and powers
In our various fields of endeavour

When our time is done
Certificates obtained
We shall sit over a keg of palmwine
Musing overthe memories of yester-years

We remember our lecturers
Who have all deposited in us A piece of them
To scale new heights
And break new grounds

Be the best you can be
The ground is too crowded for Kings
We shall meet at the topmost top
Surely in our multiplied state

God bless the MBA association!
God bless UNILAG! !
God bless Nigeria! ! !
