ASUU STRIKE; OUR JOURNEY DELAYED I didn t want to say anything about this, i just wanted to sit n enjoy dn drama n talk of others. But there r some tears unseen n cries unheard. So i av to do this n i want to do it the way i like, my way. I want to tell u a story, a story dat u will laff but want to cry. No i want to share a poem. Or maybe both, but watever it is a promise u all 1 thing as usual; F-U-N. Sit n enjoy while i begin n end. Wen i look back i see d yesterdays, d day started brightly with a golden sun. We all left home with our bags on our backs filled with ignorance. We all left on a knowledge hunting safari. We all saw our mums wave to us smiling with tears, our dads send everything down with a deep groan n mayb a bottle of gin. At dat point we made a promise, a promise we all no regret. We promised to b bck soon, at noon to help dem in d farm so dat d heat of the sun will not made dem wither. So we left home with our shoulder puffing with hope, we left on dis journey. D sun dat blessed us in d morning later cursed during d day, d smooth road we started d journey became rough. Some turned bck, some gave up, yet some moved on till we reached our classrooms. under every heat we struggled, just to keep d promised we made. Meanwhile since we left, our parents eyes has been fixed on d clock. They av watched as seconds dance it 60 steps to bcome minute, how minute has snailed-walk to hour. They av seen it all, wishing each hour was d nxt. Finally d time has come, we all promised dem dat we will b home. Proprietor n teachers wat r we still doing ion sch. C dis old ones av been punished all day by d sun, its evening n time 4 dem to get home 4rm d farm. They r all tired n thirsty, who will fetch d evening stream 4 dem to drink? They r hungry, who will go to d market n buy fish, who will prepare d meals 4 dem? They fire spot is soaked, who will fetch d firewoods who will make d fire. Some of them r weak already, who will prepare d bed 4 dem to rest their tired limbs. Proprietor n teachers we all knw frm here our journey is still long b4 we get home. Proprietor n teachers pls dont keep us again in school, lets go n fulfill our promises.
