DUST FOR DUST

DUST FOR DUST

DUST FOR DUST

Oh Earth!

Thou home of divers being

White and black have you beget

Death dethroned through Cain

Dust!

Dust!

Home for all, Home you’re

The Creator had made you like that

Near the way, home was far

Cain slayed him, slayed with wrath

 

 

Thus, we wake a carcass on morrow

Crying for the dead with hearts so narrow

Home call, we sing at their funeral

The days in thee are ephemeral

 

 

Home you’re, home for none

Dust return, home for the born.

I was then one of the competitors group, a group said to be the community of the intellectuals. Having succeeded in the secondary school, I opted to study Medicine in the great citadel of knowledge; The Lagos State University, Ojo which was successful but to a different course, Physics.
