Journey Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

Journey

Rating: 4.0


Life is all but a journey

Today we are here

Tomorrow we are there

No time to spare

On our lapses so bare.


On on the chariot of time goes

Dragging us along like war foes

Through the field where knowledge of hoes

Glow or blow our toes.


No lasting friend or enemy

Only permanent interest like a political pygmy

To survive the war like heroic army

Among the many armies that die the death of obscurity.


Life is all but a man's journey

Intricately woven to the journey of another

Many in their myopic state or starry-eyed lost their tracks

And are forever trapped in the destiny of others.

Oh! Not me. Not me

So true, life is a journey that we do not know where it will go or when it will end, yet we continue to live it the best we can. We cross and re-cross other's journey's on the way to fulfilling our own destiny. Beautiful and lovely sentiments in your poem. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
