If Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

If I have a billion likes
On the pics I uploaded on social media
And none of them is yours
All the likes I got are as good as nothing.

If I have a million wishes
On the day most important to me
If you haven't said a word
All the many wishes i got are as good as nothing.

If people gathered together to celebrate me
On my daring achievements
If you are not among the gatherers
Those that gathered only gather in vain.

There are people but there is a person
Million people of could gather
If that person is not among them
The million people are as good as being absent.
