WHAT IS YET TO BE RAISED - Akinmusire “Asapen” Akinyemi
From the beginning of the cosmos,
We have raised hopes in heroes,
In tales, stories, folklores and in reality
Who were our heroes who had risen?
Did their giant strides bring relief?
Do the tales of their rise linger in our memories?
Even stories of legends rising leave questions unanswered.
Would you rather not be Romeo if Juliet had to die?
Why did the love raised in Titanic drown?
Has beauty yet found her beast in a tale as old as time?
Why would Cinderella need a glass slipper to impress the Prince?
Why did snow-white prick her finger with a needle?
Why hasn’t Tom stopped chasing Jerry?
What made the ring so powerful that it needed a Lord?
Aren’t the webs of spider making Peter look younger?
Would you want to serve Superman a dish of Krypton?
What is yet to be raised?
We know iron melted when it met Thatcher,
But where is the Kingdom Churchill fought to unite?
