Ibli Akpanke Modestus Poems

Only in dreams was I ever happy
Only in fantasy I ever built a home
But achievement I heard men speak of
Out of time and in times so tough
...

What path of life is it?
From rest I sight a seat
Determination drags me up
I find myself striving to the top
...

O! that I fetch dry the sea
And the fishes there in be mine
I'll sit in my dining room over cups of tea
Crossing my legs and counting money all the time
...
