I GLITTER

. Within the black cycle i was brought to life, With the tears and blood of the first experience, I grew from the black tongue. . I sojourn in the land beyond the beyond, For the land always greener on the other side. Confused i was like a shadow of no appearance, The dawn of the day beside me, Starring at me in the face, I learnt greener it isn't on the other side at all time. . Like the tale of the prodigal son, I returned to my black earth. Where i learnt to till with my fingers, And crawl on my kneels. I found my true path along the black route, And in it i glitter like diamonds. I'm black and glittering is my identity. . THOMAS OLUWATOSIN TEE-THOMAS (Fearless Lines)
