I WILL WRITE A STORY
By: Yusuff Uthman Adekola (YUA)
I will write a story,
A story about this mother
Whose bosoms droop
And hang in a limp stance
That speaks the words
Of age long over-sucking
By the proboscis of sadness...
I will write a story,
A story about this mother
Whose face is a bruised board
Where piercing darts domicile,
Together with a mate of agonies,
And inject the ravaged beauty
With the vastness of faceless wrinkles...
Someday,
I will write a story,
A story about this mother:
A story of conquered corruption;
A story of interred terrorism;
A story of stifled disunity;
A story of blooming love;
A story of wakeful security;
A story of teeming honesty...
I will write a story,
Someday... Someday, soon...
