The Potential Danger Poem by Yusuf Qomorudeen Olusola

The Potential Danger



Prior to the destination along a loading bay
Where rested a long exuberant wheel
Moving high on a high way
With four basements as a standing steel
A stirring as a controlling blue-ray
Fuel, as disgusting heavenly sea
Oil, superior but inferior erosion
Auxiliary to an already-completed benediction
Green and white, a distinctive bellowing rendition
Gallop and steady, of Economy, a potential acceleration

So truss a fellow!
Encase in a rickety basin of mediocrity
For epilepsy to bones has worn him
Eternal blindness has taken over him
He is an epitome of epidemics
A world-weary figure of leprosy
Projecting him an embodiment of paralysis
yet of the said wheel, a driver to be

will the wheel be wheeled to the willing destination?
Will there be a compromise and not commotion?
Will the passengers be treated with justification?
Will the Government not be divided among the nation?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Now 23, I hailed from Osun State, Nigeria.since my childhood, I have not ever left the country till upper last year Ramadan season 2011 when I traveled to Saudi Arabia to perform the religious rite (Humra) . I got to the Muritala Mohammed Airport and experienced some absurdities. Among of this was the Power outage, Insufficient Nigeria Airbuses, failure of some security machines, to mention but the few.The most incredible and shed-tearing fact of the case was the incident of the Dana Air crash happened in the year 2012 or thereabouts, where almost no survivor was recorded and which claimed many invaluable lives and brought an irresistible shock to the mind of everyone. Now, announce has been made of that life-claiming Dana to be the ever best aviation of this year 2013. Nigerian! where the hell are we heading to? What propels me to write this poem was that almost all the shortcomings of this great nation ever since the third Republic can be heaped solely on the so-called political office holders and the generality of the leaders. In terms of their incompetence, callousness, and their ungodly tendency. This is why this satirical poem has centered and lampooned the unjustified nature of the said leaders.
Going by the tittle of this poem, bad leadership among diverse Ethnic groups in a very large area of a geographical location, can definitely lead to secession of some regions or make things fall apart.
