Where Is- -All The World? Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Where Is- -All The World?



Where is -all the world?
Those we played together in mud?
Where are those days we had funs
Along the streets where we had our runs
In the naked harmattan of every december
Would Laolu, Lekan, femi, mayor still remember?
Is anyone of them also thinking of me?
Can I still trust one if now I see?
One more, give me one more life
That is free from fears and strife
Like the one I had when I was six
When I could go in through and pick
Some ices from the thunderous rain
Setting block to cause some floods drain
One more calming through night
Peaceful, withno dream to fright
Like that I had in mama's lap after that rain
When I thought*no maid at labor feels pain
O moon come shine long and much plain
Before the marrow will come here again
What is this stinging my heart so rough?
Someone come turn this music box off;
Let me tell if it be choir of men's solo
Or some demons whispering to my soul
For this is too heavy and isn't raw!
And bloodily digging on my brain
's skull
Let me only hear a piano's note whisper
Or something before my eyes disappear
I want to yield slowly those angels' calls
I need a voice to speak from the walls;
Where is -all the world?
Those we played together in mud?
