Off I go. <br />I see the birds twisting their feathers. <br />As, they listen to the songs of leaves, <br />Singing with a platonic air <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I see the squirrels hop from trees to tree. <br />When, they’re stirred by the absence of a breeze. <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I see the earthworms wiggle through the wet soil. <br />As, they feel the jingle of the rain. <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I found myself on the way to a glorious day. <br />As, I proceed to the destination of my faith. <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I see animals grazing on green grasses. <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I dream of a world without wars. <br />On which, the lantern of dialogue lights brightly. <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I have a dream about the extinction of the warmongers. <br />They shall be buried deep inside the earth, with no stars. <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I see children smile. <br />When, they hear about the demise of man <br />Who, might obliterate their tomorrow <br />With selfishness and greediness. <br /> <br />Off I go. <br />I see a ray of sunshine <br />Shining through a black cloud. <br /> <br />Off I go. Off I go. <br />I see the wind <br />Blowing down the Devil’s iron-built hut.<br /><br />Muideen Lanre Dauda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/off-i-go/
