Let It Shine Poem by Emmanuel Owusu Ansah

Something we've got inside,
That seeks not to hide.
That which is buried within us deep inside.
In it we've got to confide.
Trust in that; let it be our pride.
Like the smile of the newly wedded bride.

This that is buried within is who we are
Living within; thus, how we've come by far
This that keeps us, boiling;
Perhaps, our one tool for toiling.
Need not us suppress it;
Rather showcase every bit.

To the world; let your star out
Let it shine; to curb every drop of doubt
On the world; turn on your light
Let it illuminate every sight
Let it not fade
Let it not slumber under a shade

What we've got needs to shine.
They may despise, but its fine.
One they destroyed? We're left with ninety-nine.
It's our passion
And we have an option;
To put it in a pragmatic function
