Redefine Yourself Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Redefine Yourself



He Sun has lost its brightness
The moon, its glow
The maidens have lost their virginity
The young men, their mojo, their virility
The centre can no longer hold
In the words of the sage
We are no longer at ease

Our wives have become side chicks
Our girls, slay Queens
Our husbands now find solace
On the laps of Delilahs
And for our young men
They ball as big time Gigolos
Surely, things are falling apart

We warned, but they erred
When the leave lost its greenery
The dew turned blood
Mediocrity celebrated above integrity
We warned, oh yes, we warned!
When the iron was hot and bendable
They should have listened

The took our culture
And gave us Soddom and Gomorra
Then called it civilisation
They manipulated our ladies
And called it feminism
They stole our wealth
And gave us Greek gifts
My brother, receive sense
Common sense is not common

Redefine yourself
Aspire and be hopeful
The earth has lost its savour
But you are an agent of change
You are the salt of the earth
Made in the image of Jah
If you refuse to manifest
Will God punish you?
You already know the answer
Don't be a non-entity
Live your live and make a mark
