You Will Go Places

by Gbolabo Adetunji, posted in Drive

You should leave the bay

For this is your day

There is no telling

How much you’ll be yelling

Just how far you will go

Since you’re now a pro

With no brains in your head

No limits to your spread

It’s amazing what you can do

I should take a cue from you

You can go anywhere

Barriers are what you tear

The world is wide

And you won’t hide

The choices are yours

In scores and scores

You will go places

And win races

Fences walls and doors

Not enough to break your tours

You can stay in many a town

Or meet with many a Crown

You can travel far

With or without a car

You can go with the flow

It’s your time to tell and show

Join the parades

Or raid all the aides

Soar with the daredevils

Go above their levels

Meddle with the best

Giggle with the rest

And when you slump

That’s still a trump

You will rise and laugh

Again at other’s gaffe

And if you bump

Others  will plump

For you  may be a grain

One with no ordinary reign

You make people call in

Surrendering  to allergies

Not minding  their strategies

You are the pollen grain

Riding your season train

  8. Very nice read for me on this Sunday morning! Loved the image as well.
    Sorry for the digression but I recently read that the bee population has starkly declined due to environmental hazards. We can’t afford to lose these little helpers. Using your words, I’ll simply say, “It’s amazing what (they) can do.”

    1. There is an urgent need to stop chemical-intensive industrial agriculture and to shift towards ecological farming. Ecological farming ensures healthy farming and healthy food for today and tomorrow by protecting soil, water and climate, and promotes biodiversity. It does not contaminate the environment with chemical inputs like synthetic chemical pesticides, fertilizers nor genetically engineered organisms.
      What can we do? Stop using insecticides, pesticides and herbicides. More importantly, begin the campaign (a.k.a. start fighting the big corporations) against industrialized agriculture. Can we win the battle against “big money” ? On the other hand if we stay on the sidelines, we would be spectators of the destruction of our ecosystem.
      Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your comment. Have a beautiful day!❤

      1. Absolutely! Lately, in the US, we have been feeling exactly the way you describe, “…spectators of the destruction of our own ecosystem.” Not to mention the dismantling of our democracy.
        Thanks for such a thoughtful response. I hope you have a magnificent week 🙂

    1. Thank you so much. I learned from you. I have similar issue with the reader and I have found that the problem is with WordPress’ poor system maintenance. Sometimes I have to manually search for blogs that I do follow before I can see their posts. Thank you for stopping by. Your comment made my day. 🌼
