Memory Lane Poem by Funkekeme Akposeye

I remember the days past, the
years past they all passed so fast
as I take a walk on memory lane
my mind remembers the rains,
the pains and the gains and it
places a strain on my brain
because there ’ s a certain level I
want to attain, when I was
younger I had a perfect picture
of the world, now am older, am
not sure of this wrecked future,
am not so certain and once
again I fall into the same things,
the bad things that taste so
good, I promised and tried to
abstain for good but I can’ t help
it, it sticks to me like a stain but
who ’ s to blame for this Chain, it
was passed from father to son
like birdman and li ’ l Wayne but
am still looking for change like
the government but to say the
truth the government is filled
with bad men
Back in the days, they said I
wouldn’ t get far but now the
melody is so clear makes me
want to count my blessings, new
day, new dressings, the
harmony is so clear, there ’ s
nothing left to do I have found
my treasure in you, I have found
my weakness in you, I hold onto
the memories we made on
memory lane, so dear to me it
runs through my veins.
