Take Away The Bar Poem by Bamisaye Adeniran

This is just for a moment
Never gonna give up
Even when the bars claim to be lord
I won’t give up ‘cos I’m made for the top

Though it emphasizes its presence
Yet I’ll belong to the camp of pretense
‘cos I’ve betrothed my gaze
To nothing but the prize.

Not for the tempting pleasure
Not even for the momentary break
I’ve got to keep the dream alive
Just for a better day.

This is a stranger
Come take it away
I’m not a party to this
Let eviction have its day.

I’ve to breast the tape
I’ve got a prize to claim
I’ve got to lord the jackpot
Take away the bar.
