Will You Think? Poem by Adedolapo Olisa

If one can't think then can't win, can't even see
the future, tommorow is bleak immediately
but bright almost defiinitely when the clouds of now
so thick to comprehend, one bends and make bow
with a sight of optimism implored in reasoning
the dark clouds of impediments
become an ignition and trigger that sets determination ablaze

Flames of heroes endure
Lights from intellectual thoughts blaze the trail
Like the nights endure for a time
and sleep consumes the flesh of many
so do only a few triumph over the spell of the night

A state present in everone and for everyone to tackle
though at collective times or individual periods
the times of now, are a prefix to aftermath.

That morning will come is not a question
but 'where and as who will it meet one' is
the troubles of struggle
are only but for a story worthy of glory
or for the tale of the tail

The light is not for the strong, fast, connected or powerful
It is a test for the depth of reasoning
the accuracy in seeking and finding
attaching results to impossiblities.

The cloud always is a bus stop
with the bus seeming at it's destination
it takes more than determination, optimism, talent
it takes all to believe and prove
that there is a mile and more
the race of and for intellectual thoughts has no final stop
it is a pile towards infinity
Will you think?
