Hold On! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Please I beg you to hold on
I mean you should try to hang on
Though the bus had just passed on
Yes! You could not get a space to even stand on
Know, though, there is no being to fall on
And shoulders are lacking to rest on
But, while waiting, you can deliberately walk on
There are many issues you can ponder on
Even if it is yet hard to decide on
Do not allow the time to just waste on
Drop the past, the future is for you to move on
Mistakes, errors and misgivings are loads you cannot just carry on
Yesterdays are no garments you put on
Tomorrows are lights that continue to shine on
So, seize this chance and fight on
It is hard to get it when you just stroll on
They just happen fast, better catch on
Be at alert and never cease watching-on
When the bus comes by, quickly jump on
Alas! That could just be your time to rave on
