Never Let Anything Go Poem by Tony Adah

I woke up
This morning with
A different attitude
Towards the world
I am smiling
I do not want to wait
For anybody to put
A smile on my face.

The world has all
It takes to straighten
The wrinkles on my face
Clad my bare body
Fill my void bowels
And make me a star

I will never
Put it on
Anybody's shoulders
Why I have not eaten
Or why my body is bare
And my star dim

I will go out
To where the world
Keeps its shine
Get it and burnish my star

I will go to
Where the world
Keeps its food
And stuff my famished tummy
Go to where it leaves its garments
And clad myself
For I and I alone
Can tell the world
To turn my way
And give me
My desired admiration.
