www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [SHALL WE WAIT STILL]
Ever seen a man who lost his soul?
Left with his heart rigid like a stone
His humanity can be seen, but through a hole
His life, his seeds will live to atone

He’s like a gastropod
A yard away from his shell
Sojourns without his conscience onboard
Seeks for pleasure in itinerary of hell

With his hands he murdered the truth
For the glimpse of it makes him loatheAnd 234 lives are but a dime
The price he would pay to realize a lie

Who will oust him from his powers?
For his victims need deliverance
How their cries fade as their strength withers
NO! They are not a lost cause
Let’s win them back with our shouts and cry
Let us with love, fight and pry

Written by: Salam Tiwistar Seun
