i’m not ashamed
An instantaneous poem in response to Fagbuaro Julius

I am not ashamed
Of being one among those who ain’t humane
Of being one among those who ain’t courteous
Of being one among those who can’t respect hunger
Of being one among those who can’t respect others
Of being one among those who ain’t lovable
Of being one among those who can’t answer inhumanity
Of being one among those who can’t protect oneself
Of being one among those who can’t earn respect for themselves
Of being one among those who can’t help oneself
Since I believe
that starless night isn’t one’s destiny
since I believe
that change is the only change that changes their range
Since I believe
bleeding eyes too can dare to dream better
Since I believe
that starving nobility does find a way to betterment……
Since I believe
that man isn’t a jetsome in the river of lifeless life
Since I believe
that each man needs dignity to soul, education to mind and food to body
Since I believe
that bright day light is the right of each birth………
