Wake Up My Friend Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Wake up my friend
Welcome to the real world
A world of hate and deceit
Where sons of Adam
Become masters of deceit

Love is beautiful, yet ugly
When you meet "The One"
Your just wanna say "Yes"
Walk down the aisle
Nothing else matters

You met him raw
He has the charm & charisma
You saw your children in him
You seemed perfect in a way
But a game master you met

You saw the signs
But sentiment crept in
What will you tell friends
Oh! I wish this could pass
Not after all the investments

My dear friend
Deep in your heart
The answer lies
You hear the still voice
But how could this be

Wake up my friend
Single motherhood beckons
A life of misery and regrets
Better a broken relationship
Than a broken marriage

Cheer up my friend
For every Daughter of zion
There is a prince charming
For surely he will come
And it will end in praise

You deeply want this
But his heart beats for another
You deserve the best
And not the rest
Close that door finally
Now that you got the chance

I hurt when you hurt
I cry when you tear
And I know you are strong
Weeping may be for a while
Surely, joy comes in the morning

You alone holds the key
To a life of happiness
Not anyman or woman
But for whatever you decide
I will always stand by you
Run, while you can
It is a choice of the wise
