Borrowed Codes Poem by Ojedokun Adeola

In holes we lay our folds believing in tomorrow
That todays sorrow will become hollows,
If today we borrow tomorrow we'll burrow.
Though the land is fallow and the harvest shallow
We lead today to be followed, just as we followed
Yesterday to be borrowed.
Borrowed codes of a bright future.
Gathering codes of colorado
To fit in boreholes,
Yet we claim we still control our own photos
Even with voodoo beneath our pillows
And fazes in kilos we can't stop saying we lead
Tomorrow, despite our different strokes
We'll not forget our cold, but come out bold.
