The World Is Not About Anybody Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

This world is not about me
Neither is it about you
Nor about anybody, at all
It is spherical
Rotates
Revolves
On it’s on axis
No specific focal point
Though it receives light and darkness
Durations are mathematically equal
Twelve hours, we are told
You and I only get our micro shares
Of daylight and dark night
Energy is conserved
So, think little about your stuff
Others have got theirs, too.
