Open Your Eyes Poem by Vincent Igwilo

I weep
I weep for you child
I weep for myself

Can't you stop and think
Can't you pause and ponder
Where are you going?

For what cause do you work?
Do you work;
Just because it is called work

What do you think
When you hear the word
Future

What are your dreams
What are your plans
What is your foundation

People have come and gone
Legends came and stayed
Which are you?

Everybody is a legend
Everybody is a hero
Everybody is a genius

But one thing makes the difference
Petty decisions made
Each and everyday.
