Room In The Roof Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Room in the roof
The corner of crime and misery,
All youths' age of rebellion proof
A day to stroll the streets free;
And walking back late all night,
Emmanuel was one of my rellies;
Being aggressive and full of fight
But the ties of trust and much brekkies
His father gave to him made it hard
To resist the devil of stealing money,
Betting being what made him better bad
Fear of these acts made him more guilty,
Then he decided to run away to the state;
Where he got for himself a room in a roof
Feeling ashamed of breaking the faith
Of his father that cared for his duff
At that night he builded himself valour;
He could smell the flowers through the door
To see his friends burst into laughter
And him again siting beside his father.
