Awake Poem by Imo Peter

Awake! Yes I must awake

From deep slumber that kills my day

I must awake

From sleep that obese my spirit

I must awake

From dream that blinds my sight

I must awake

From shame that beclouds my potential
I must awake

From inferiority that mocks my past

I must awake

Arise! Yes I must arise

Like early rising birds

I must arise and rise, to labour

Like the rising morning sun

I must arise and brighten my splendor

Like the rising ocean tide

I must arise to my fullest potentials

Like the rising water vapour

I must arise, and rise to enviable height

I must awake and rise

To the tip of my consciousness

Making ways and sending rays

Leaving indelible mark on the sands of time
The foundation I'll set for my generation
