I Have Decided



I have decided
To toe the path of truth
Therein lies honour
I have decided to be resolute
Therein lies dignity
I have decided to be loyal
Therein lies integrity
I have decided to be consistent
Therein lies trust
Come rain, come shine
I will always be me.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this poem during the struggle of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) , Lagos State University, Ojo, Lagos, Nigeria branch. The Union went on a legitimate strike but past Union Leaders who were supposed to be at forefront worked against the Union and I felt that loyalty is a mark of honour. I remained resolute and stood on the path of honour, that is, not betraying my Union.
