Caught in the web of love
I felt like a dove
Trapped in a cage
Exhausting my rage
After the energy drain
I took the grain
Offered by patience
As no other options
Came my way
Either in the day
Or in the night
Except that light
Of continuous hope
Which helped me to cope
With the lengthy separation
Created by service to the nation.
(Zaria, Nigeria- October,1993)
