I Am Man Poem by Ade Oduyale

Take a breath,
Hold it in,
This is where our lives begin.

Blink your eyes,
Keep them closed,
This is where our dreams unfold.

Take a step,
Hold your ground,
Be the person never found.

Have some trust,
Feel the love,
Angels die from up above.

Feel the hope,
Do not scream
Battlefields cannot be dreams.

Look around,
Please believe,
We can cure this hate disease.

Don't deny,
You have to try,
Fight with me, stay by my side.

Here I am,
Here I stand,
This is me, this is man.
