Need To Be Poem by Babalola Jubril

When you need to be,
Please be whatever you should be,
The need to be may have come again,
The sky need to be above the earth,
And there it is where it should be,

You may not need to be now,
But the need to be is now,
You have to try to be,
In every ways you think you can be,
Strive to be all you can be,

You may have to know now,
That life is lifeless and hopeless,
When the need to be is not there,
When the striving spirit is no more,
The need to be is not tomorrow but not now.
