When Things Go Wrong Poem by Tosin Adesokan

I searched the world
In my house
but couldn't find a home


I toured the world
by water
On a voyage
yet I am afraid of river


Selling food
but
I am always hungry

When things go wrong
when the road is free
I imagine obstacles


Optimism seems dangerous
when things go wrong


When things go wrong
you will create ambiguous
war within yourself


When things go Wrong
farming becomes famine
when you are right
you will have no one but
yourself to blame
