Analysis of A Dream
Ayomidse Damilare 2022 (Olufei Shokan)
Awaken from deep slumber after a long time rest
Discovering my vicinity, not even a possession to claim mine
Taking a thorough look at myself, deliberating on my existence with nothing to proudly called mine
Making up my mind to say “I am wretched”
Clashed and messed up lacking the monetary for my upkeep
Stride out bumping into the commoners which i called my people
Demanding of their long time debt i owe
Thrutch into their midst requesting their profit
I was held down, stroke harshly and punish severely for my actions
Paranoid of public speaking which i called Glossophobia
Longing for a demise after experiencing pain-prior to-death
Drowning in ecstasy after my own death
Realizing my existence with a drop of hydrogen hydroxide by a passerby who grind to a halt for that of my motionless body lying helplessly in the highway in a pull of red liquid flowing out of me
Blinking twice with a closer look, gazing at the figure whom cease my journey to a place of no return
Stretching forth a hand to aid me up
I glanced with a scornful look of “how could you when i'm dead”
Clothed and sheltered giving a refuge by a stranger
Uncommon solidarity by a stranger when am not an exception
Experiencing that which i’ve been lacking
Clothed in wealth, nurture and culture in luxuries
Actualizing that i was destitute due to my state of mind
Awaken by the alarm which only reminds me of my status……..in destitution
Oh no……..it's just a dream.
