AWAITING SADNESS :ADEDOKUN THEOPHILUS OLUWAPELUMI




He gave us bags of rice
without getting back nothing
He gave us bags of beans
without taking something
He gave us kegs of oil
without expecting anything
He gave us sacks of garri
without caring for it cost
He gave us stocks of fish
without thinking twice
He gave us creates of eggs
without leaving behind a grimace
He organized series of party
without reasoning about monetary issue
He sponsored thousands of event
without HIS increasing
He gave us empty plate
without obstruction in his airstream
He promised us HEAVEN ON EARTH
free education, maternity,
good road, security,
portable water, electricity,
job opportunity, human right,
but high inflation
He only keep accomplish
without speaking twice
He vowed to be our saviour
without his flaw being looked upon
He gave out bread and butter
without masticating such
He gave us goodies and candies
without taking a lunch
He gave everything needed
without him taking anything in return
He released all
unknowingly, our sadness awaits
He fooled us with his prodigality
not knowing our hue is just on its path
He gave us palm oil for crude oil
without a second thought
He gave us fruit for fish
without a second thought
He gave rice for right
without thinking twice
He gave us coke for coal
without thinking twice
He gave us eggs for education
without another thought
He gave us butteredbread for birthright
without having a taste of it
He gave us everything
for him to hold the staff
He's now planning to vying again
after an unfulfilled promises
Do you see that our sadness await?
Can you see our destiny is shaking?
Do you see our sight is blur?
Can you see hope have not been elected?
Do you see our JESUS is not on sit?
Our sadness still await
giving a dim reflection of optimism................
