A Nightmare... Poem by Owoeye Taiwo Bisola

Everyday, I rise up from my rumpled rubbles,
I was burnt alive yet I arose from my ashes,
Life is the worst nightmare ever to befall man,
This world is not my home, I'm just a refugee,
I'm earth-bound, I can't soar through the skies,
I sow seeds of struggles, I reap my harvests with havocs.

Everyday, I awake from a worser nightmare,
When will my wings be released from fetters?
She captured my woes for her own pleasure,
A planet pulsating with rhythms of decays,
This earth is a graveyard for despondencies,
I can yet feel the cadence of liberation pounding inside my soul.
