Not As Far As It Seems Poem by Bamisaye Adeniran

The future is not as far as it seems
Yet so far to some
As an unending journey
All the energy once present is now on leave.

Challenges claim to be the giant
And you just like David, behold your victory
Stand with your lucky five stones
Praying heaven will give you a reason to smile

Though it tarries
Yet you’ve to wait
Cos that’s an attribute of a champion
Victory is as sure as the day.

Surely your day will come to the light
A day the white community will own the day
And all will know that you’ve gotten to the once far destination
Then the once unending journey will be over.
