In Between Poem by David Oladipupo Olorunshola

In between
Is like in between the
Enemy and the red sea
Walking precariously along
The path created in the middle

It is sucidal,
To continue in that direction
The enemy pursued
Yet, you cannot turn back
To confront the enemy,
Is to sign a death warrant

They are strong
And warriors from youth
Yet, to continue
Is to attempt to commite
Intentional sucide

Oh, lord
Directly on the part
Is the red sea
The enemy close in behind
In hot pursuit

Except by a miracle
All will perish
Without a trace
But an instruction has been given
To move forward
