That Day Poem by Ikhalo Efose

I endure and wait for that day
when the land would be trully green.
When men would find pleasure before the moon an sun
when men would doubt not that stars are made of fire
when the wall would be transparent as air
when the lion will be confronted by the chicks
when houses would stand on water and men walk on it
when men shall feel the spin of the earth
when men shall move headlong
when the orchard can be called a home
and the square a safe place at night
when the king and the farmer would dine together
when the fire shall be lit and cause no burn
that day, dusk would come at noon and dawn at midnight
that day the leaders shall see
and the followers shall rejoice
that day our nation would be like the new jerusalem
i ache to see that day
