I would like to say that Interview with Corruption is currently the first entry in the book. So for people that voted this, do not despair about not reading the animation article, it will be coming to your doorstep soon.
Let me warn you before you read, 'Maybe' is not like my usual retrospective poems, it one of the most ordinary poems you might ever come across, so don't expect too much. This is the edited version, so please, you are allowed to criticise and point out errors. Thanks
Here goes it

SORRY! THE POEM HAD TO BE TAKEN DOWN AFTER 28 DAYS IN ORDER TO SERVE ITS INTENDED PUBLISHING PURPOSE.
THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
I appreciate your comments. Thanks
Maybe the world will come to an end next month
ReplyDeleteMaybe it won’t come to an end in the next three thousand years
Maybe it will be wiped away by terrorists’ nuclear bombs before rapture can take place
Maybe God will just get tired of our iniquities and shut us down today....my favorite part
nice!
Really? Glad you like it
DeleteInteresting musings. I also noticed a they in the first line, should be the.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Myne, I have corrected the error. I really appreciate it
DeleteNice poem... 'not really into poetry, though. I can't wait for your book to be out.
ReplyDeleteThanks. No probs about you not being into poetry. The book has poetry, prose and drama in it. SO u'll be fine
DeleteLike you said it is an ordinary poem and it didn't disappoint in that respect but I can't fault your effort. If I'm allowed to add one more line it would be,
ReplyDelete'Maybe our attitudes would change and we could take action to bring the change we so much wish and desire.'
Heee, thanks so much.
DeleteInteresting addition, I guess it is fuelled by your passion
Yaaayyyy, my vote: "Maybe" won. :-). Yes oo, transparency is key. If only our leaders can adopt that. I loved "Maybe Nigeria will be a top world country in the next ten years. Maybe we will finally have a clean and flawless leadership. A resounding AMEN to that. The ordinariness (if there's a word like that) of the poem is what makes it unique for me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe... there are lots of Maybes in life o. What is most important is that "our fears dont come upon us".
Delete- LDP
@ Che: Loool, abi oo. Amen oo.
Delete@ LDP: Hmmm, yea.true talk
smiles* I liked the 4th lines. i think they are a likely reality.
ReplyDeleteI wanted the corruption piece to win too, but no biggie, this was lovely as well.
yayy, thanks. You will get to read the corruption piece sometime soon
DeleteWhere was I when people were voting for the entry game? Nice poem.I loved the 2nd and 4th lines.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed reading it. nice poem, keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteNice poem....and it could go on FOREVER because they are so many maybes in life :)
ReplyDeletethere are really so many maybes in life....
DeleteBlessings.....
ReplyDeleteMaybe's are like "if's" endless and all emcompassing. There is a saying in Trinidad, "If shit was sugar, farmers would not have planted cane."
HONOR YOUR VOICE
Please do me a favor, when you birth a piece of poetry do not weigh it down and deminish it and feather it with conditions, "Let me warn you before you read, 'Maybe' is not like my usual retrospective poems, it one of the most ordinary poems you might ever come across, so don't expect too much." Let the authencity of your voice revebrate through it, its meaning will translate to your readers.
stay blessed.

The last bit is kinda scary to me, lol
ReplyDeleteAnd the 2nd bit has my fear in it concerning "my children"
Hmmmm! The things we imagine sometimes. This poem hits the nail on the head! You spoke the thoughts of everyone, thoughts some are too scared to even speak out. If I should add my bit, maybe the entire world as we see it is just one funny movie and God holds the remote control and flicks channels at will. lol
