What Are We Waiting For? Poem by Raimi Babatunde

You remember Boys to Men!
They swore by the moon
They even added the stars
Although they forgot one
With the Sun, they swore not

But I swear today "Ma Cheri"
Not by the moon and stars
But by the blood of the covenant
That in loving, I will love you
In faithfulness, I'll be faithful

Many a people renege on their words
But I will never let you down
As long as I breathe
You will be my oxygen
The only one I inhale

Come from yonder place
See my beautiful Damsel
She holds the key to my heart
In her, I find everlasting joy
With her, i will spend my life

Now that we are here
What are we waiting for?
You need me, I need you
Let's consummate our love
And make beautiful kids
Will you marry, me?
