POEM

LIMITATIONS
At a time I stay awake to elude sleep
B'cos to sleep is to dream
To dream of a glorious future
Of battles won without a blow
At times I am afraid to open my books To read of history of heroes and legend pass Of wars fought without a sling Battles won on the drawing board At times am afraid to meet my kind To avoid being object of gossips To seat in the council of ungodly men My blessing it will affect At times am afraid to take a step To where would I head What if I long to back home go No place like home I once heard At times I do not open my mouth For what should I say Injustice is the order of the day The gap between the have and have not Is as wide as the ocean.
