THEME: MIRAGE

ADELEYE OLUWADARASIMI

TITLE: THE FUTURE

Water upfront.
Illusion I see.
Cloudy Fog upfront.
Smoke I also see.

I leaped up to see farther
To see the days beyond
I tried to see further
I wanted to see the world beyond

But unfortunately, I saw no dazzle
Yet my sight is not altered
I heard no frizzle
Yet My Ears are not tampered

I cannot see the future. 
That is the message. 
There are no predictions for the future. 
It is always like a Mirage.

ANIEBIET EFFIONG

TITLE; LIFE, A DELUSSION

I Have Chased Shadows,
Dreaming And Thinking About My Days Tomorrow.
I Have Swimmed And Swimmed In The Rivers Of Shadow.
When Shall These Feelings Go?

Yesteryears I Thought I Saw Love,
Flying Unto Me Like A Dove.
Never Knowing It Wasn't A Behove.
Now Am Thinking Of How These Feelings I Can Shove.

I Thought I Had Found Happiness,
In A Desert Of Bleakness And Sadness,
Like Water In A Barren Wilderness.
Yesterday I Thought I Saw Hope,
But Today, Hope I Glope.

My Dreams Are Broken,
Into Debris My Heart Is Broken. 
These Are My Broken Words, Never Meant To Be Spoken.
My True Feelings I Leave Them Unspoken,
For I Am Emotionally Frozen.

Life Is A Mirage, Though It Looks Real.
Love Sometimes Is An Illusion, A False Emotion You Feel.
