Analysis of Certain Times
Rosemary Nkiru Francis 1982 (Enugu)
The times we soar
The times we love
The times we agree
The times we bond
This times quickly fading
Listen to counsel
Holding unto hope
Refusing to bow
Accepting the odds
Gliding with the tides
This turbulent times
Left in her wake
The times we grieve
The times we' re scared
This uncertain times
Our strength wasted
Our hope crushed
Our thoughts in shambles
We still hold unto light
Waiting for a certain time.
