Life In Campus Poem by Edwin Owade

When I was there,
She was after fame and he after femme fatale,
They rock and roll in a roller-coaster of love and titanic flare,
Fair to say she was on instagram and twitter looking for a perfect pal,
With her fellow damsels they sipped, drank and took booze of their choice,
He too, took one too many the likes of Johnny walker and Hunters choice,
Rocking, partying and clubbing she believed in all this hype,
Paul Getty aside, he was the real deal in manner, swagger and type,
Like trash, damsels were dumped, from Shayne to marry Jane,

When I was there,
They were a perfect pair,
Romeo and Juliet, behold love was in the air,
There deep affection and friendship an envy to the public stare,
Mistaken identity she got Ben, a good boy only to be a player,
He too got enticed by the looks and bootylicious of a sly Kate,
With an appetite of a snake, the forbidden fruit they ate,
Now she is blessed and he out of the apple got a killer malady.

When I was there,
She was in praise and he led the amazing grace,
They sung, prayed and worshipped to the amusement of the horde,
Happiness and joy was beaming in every congregants face,
With your voice, they said, 'give thanks to the lord, '
Christians to the latter, chastity was the way,
'a life of debauchery is a sin, the lord therefore say',
Their mantra was: books is the fodder,
With this in life nothing will be a tall order.
