'redeeming The Time' A Poem By Bello Oluwasegun by campustrends: 3:20am On Jun 21, 2018 |
Redeeming The Time This was a guest post on www.campustrends.com.ng Redeem the time for the days are evil For the northern war is come to pass Right before our very own eyes Call the dust of old hither On which we shall play the moonlight games wherein there is no form of civilization On which as a child I saw myself with an ordinary vision about to birth an extraordinary future On which communalism reside The classless policy in our blood now defiled Redeem the time for the days are evil For the northern war is come to pass Right before our very own eyes Beckon on the east and western wind To take the rule again Yet, take the northern flag along For from the days of our fathers till now We called them foolish for their incredible ways But it turned out that their foolishness beats our wisdom Pointing out that to succeed we need to fuse up Redeem the time for the days are evil For the northern war is come to pass Right before our very own eyes INTERPRETATION The poet personally beckons on the nation as a whole to come together (fuse up) lending from the days when the white had not brought their ways, the unique relationship they had in the past. The northern war is an allusion from the Christian Bible. The poet metaphorically mentions the current issues the country have been facing VIA the Northern region. The poem is a call to fusion of all the regions of the state, genuinely relating with one another for a better future of the nation. -Baylow This is a poem written by Bello Oluwasegun.
