A Time To Think Poem by DEDAN ONYANGO

You have time to think about the future,
It may not be crystal clear,
Yes, it may be unclear,
You still have time to think about it.
You may look around,
What do you see?
A sea full of hope
A sky coloured with ribbons of blessings,
As the silver clouds perambulate a cross in majesty
Know that:
You have the time to think about the future.

You may doubt, but that is normal,
But an abnormality if you didn't,
The sweet scent of roses a cross the rough road
Decorated with thorns
You must locomote to get to the white roses,
You do not need to settle for the remnants.
But going forth,
For the future awaits your inaugural address,
There is no time to sit and regret,
Life needs your immediate public address.

Do you hear that deem sound hitting soundly in your cardiac muscle?
Do you smell breath of the wind passing by?
Do you see yourself dining at the table of greatness?
Or have you already settled for less?
You have time to think about the future,
Though it may be masked with barriers;
In you there is a warrior.
You shouldn't be a worrier!

As you count down for the breakthrough
As you count down for the through pass
As you wait anxiously for that hour
As you prepare the reception,
Know that you are not an exception
But an inclusion in HIS Mighty inscriptions.

The dark clouds though may soon overturn the existing beauty
Thorns will soon over through the white roses,
The oceans may soon submerge the lands,
The green carpet will soon be burnt with scorching sun;
But still,
You have the time to re-think about the past
Like a canoe you will need to adjust
To face the direction of the harrowing wind
And with the coin, you have to make a toast
Choices will be remade.

Remember;
You still have time to think about your future,
But now it may have flown,
Time flies, so should you.
You still have your future to think about your
TIME.
