' Think About It Poem by Efe Benjamin

Think about it
About you, about me
About everything
You were born to meet
Think about love
About God, of religion
Think about wealth, of money
And frivolities.
.
Just think about history
Of you, and me
Playing by the sea
Think about day, and night
When we meet
For the first time
Was love at first sight
Do you remember
How we loved forever.
.
Now think about church
Of pastors
Whose love only for money
Think about government
In human polity
Who care less for hungry masses
Think about men, of politics
And empty promises.
.
Did you think about false prophets
On the island
How they cursed for the naira
Think about Nigeria
Of Jonathan, and Boko Haram.
.
Just think about kids
Who were stolen
And their freedom taken
Did you ask why
They curse, and weep
Just to be free
Do you often think about nemesis,
Of community, and togetherness
So you think of diseases, of good health.
And blessings,
The virtue of patience.
.
Did you think about poets
Whose wealth only of words
Endearing for years
Think about philosophy
Of Greeks, and mythology
Beliefs defying normalcy.
.
Will you think about Romans,
Of romance, when you give
Someone your heart
So you think about hell,
Of heaven, lucifer and devils
Think about begining
How you came from nothing
For I already know these things.
.
So you think, think about it..
