[Babatunde Olatunki]

Please.. wake me when I am free

I cannot bear activity

Where my couch, I am told, "Hold no significance"

I waited and died in ignorance

but my inner eye can see, erase

who reigned as king in another place

The green trees were reached from fall

and every man spoke of beautiful men and women together as people



War was gone because all was at peace

but now like a nightmare, I woke to see

that I live like a prisoner of poverty.. 



Please.. wake me when I am free

I cannot bear activity

Fall, I will have a ?, stricken blind

than to live without expression of mind
