I No Longer Stand Alone Poem by Babatunde Aremu

I once stood alone
Abandoned by the rest
The world stayed apart
I was rejected
For holding on to truth
My words were like bitter gall
But as waters rolled under the bridge
Washing away lies once embraced
As the wind blows
Exposing the anus of chickens
The forgotten truth re-emerged
My words are now golden
Glittering in the hearts of many
I now know that if lies travelled for years
A leap by the truth in a day overtakes
The truth of yesteryears
Is now a model for today
So, I no longer stand alone
