Muideen Lanre Dauda - OFF I GO

Off I go.
I see the birds twisting their feathers.
As, they listen to the songs of leaves,
Singing with a platonic air

Off I go.
I see the squirrels hop from trees to tree.
When, they’re stirred by the absence of a breeze.

Off I go.
I see the earthworms wiggle through the wet soil.
As, they feel the jingle of the rain.

Off I go.
I found myself on the way to a glorious day.
As, I proceed to the destination of my faith.

Off I go.
I see animals grazing on green grasses.

Off I go.
I dream of a world without wars.
On which, the lantern of dialogue lights brightly.

Off I go.
I have a dream about the extinction of the warmongers.
They shall be buried deep inside the earth, with no stars.

Off I go.
I see children smile.
When, they hear about the demise of man
Who, might obliterate their tomorrow
With selfishness and greediness.

Off I go.
I see a ray of sunshine
Shining through a black cloud.

Off I go. Off I go.
I see the wind
Blowing down the Devil’s iron-built hut.
