It's graduation! <br />A day supposed to be the happiest <br />The happiest at least in half a decade <br />And here on a molded parapet alone <br />Sat with visions blurred <br />And blinks with the speed of the clocks <br /> <br />It's graduation! <br />A day not as envisaged <br />With friends, love and family <br />In high praise and in great pride <br />In bliss and much merry <br />With fatted calves and drinks fizzy <br /> <br />It's graduation! <br />An end to a period of timelessness <br />In times of hunger and dreams unknown <br />In times of thirst and early wakes <br />Missions to accomplish in depths of stress <br /> <br />It's graduation! <br />A day that begins it all<br /><br />nicholas boateng<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-graduation/
