This Is Not a Full Stop by TERFA Danjuma Nenger

This is not a full stop

Like mumbling inscriptions at bus stop

Where dictators wheel our heels till tears drops

It’s a story of life wobbling stuffs

Unfolding reality beyond our bounds

Breaking only the fools bond

 

This is not a full stop

Where fools try to stop rise of waves to shores

Nor the blind stepping on their hearts like some storms

It is of life swirling out our ponds 

But we won’t stop the winds until we hit our point

Riding hard our feet on life’s turbulent thorns

And amidst all odds

We move
