The Beautiful One Is On The Way Poem by Ifeyinwa Ezenyimulu

I had a dream
The brilliant sun smiled at me
I inhaled the sweet smell
Free of impurity, that’s splendid
And the atmosphere, star

A dream I had
The drumming and beats echoed
The melodious voices and rhythmic foot sounds
The birds followed it
How wonderfully they rejoiced and flew

Still the dream, in that dream
The beautiful one was born
The ugly ones washed and stand
Beautifully in rejection of the old

The colourful dream
Broadcast the blessed future
Who then would be fair with treason?
Oh no! The days are blest
