I once stood alone <br />Abandoned by the rest <br />The world stayed apart <br />I was rejected <br />For holding on to truth <br />My words were like bitter gall <br />But as waters rolled under the bridge <br />Washing away lies once embraced <br />As the wind blows <br />Exposing the anus of chickens <br />The forgotten truth re-emerged <br />My words are now golden <br />Glittering in the hearts of many <br />I now know that if lies travelled for years <br />A leap by the truth in a day overtakes <br />The truth of yesteryears <br />Is now a model for today <br />So, I no longer stand alone<br /><br />Babatunde Aremu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-no-longer-stand-alone/
