A Race To Win Poem by Vincent Igwilo

I woke up one beautiful morning
Taking a look at the mysterious island that lay wait affront
I saw a great mountain and suddenly lightening came crashing down
So great it was that a patch of rock split out from the mountain

Then the race started as it slipped down the mountains slope
It kept moving with great speed until it broke into tiny pieces as it met with another cliff
Losing interest I layed back to sleep
But a great whoosh awoke me once more

I looked on to see the pieces of that same rock moving;
With great velocity like never before
It raced past oceans and battle and hurricanes
Till they came scattered into bit pieces that I can read what they came to be

It read thus 'Life makes way for a man that know where he is going'
They can bend you but cannot break your spirit
