The Season of Emergence
Zealous Frank 2000 (Nigeria)
A deadly impasse likened to growth
Fragile deliverance for days of old
Antique - but still means to follow
An ideology favored -
- but constantly opposed
Youth - its empowerment
Apt to conquer crisis and its antecedents
A powerful and formidable weapon -
- kinetically projecting ideas of change
A citation as to its origin
Peace- change- revival
Persistent intrusion - path to light
A need for baton exchange -
- for the end is nigh
An era of emergence -
- from obscurity to visibility
A season of transitioning -
- from ignominy to notability
For this is a call to service
An invitation to echelons of relevancy
With relatively unfolding events -
- confirming the validity of reality
For this trial stage;
Will set apart mediocre men -
- from men of excellence
The fog is just a facade
The past - a passage
Limitations are there to exceed,
restrictions to outgrow
And barriers to surmount
For this is your season
The perfect time for emergence!
