Nkem, son of the soil
had a vision
unable to see it fruitful here
He left on a journey beyond the shores
He made a move for a greener pasture
the parents sold their inherited portion
handed it to him
on a journey beyond the shore
with a grim of fear
and hope he leaves
bid his siblings farewell
sees a life waiting
for him
a vision with
assurance of success
He left his
kingdom…takes his ‘bag’
for a second path
beyond the shores
Note: how many dreams have we lost to the shores?
because of our
undirected government
how many bag filled
with numerous talents
have slipped away
from us?
the beautiful ones
are born but ignored
they take another
path
and still meet us
where they left …
just my own observation, about the rush to overseas by the youth of Nigeria...
