AT LAST by Oletu Oghenenyore C.

AT LAST 
(for Tares Oburumu)

the turbulence 
couldn’t make a man of will say nay;
patience is a bitter pill
but to press the doorbell
we shine our teeth in the dark night.
our white teeth is the only light 
we’ve got in the creek.

the sky remain blue
yet Chelsea FC loss some point too
champs sometimes slow down
but class is permanent.

of his counselling and guide
it did pay off at the right time
ensample of great faith
inking with lots of pains
finally, the Lord prepare the banquet
in the presence of his enemies
