by Jacob Jahaziel Ngillong
All admist the tides of life,
Was I then seated and clasping my knees
Not knowing what to do.
All alone was I in the land of captivity Struggling and lamenting,
But there was no help coming forth.
Many were a great waste away of yesterday
But never theless, today is never late!
See! the times has changed
This world will never wait for you
It's still going till eternity.
Then it occured to me
All I was looking for was within me.
As I open the eyes of my mind,
I began experiencing a new dawn!
I felt on top of the world!
A new beginning has come
A new dawn has break
Let's shun every act
of condemnation and wickedness
And embrace peace and celebration.

ABOUT THE POET ~
I am a Nigerian by birth, I hail from kaltungo local government area of Gombe state in the northern part of Nigeria. I started writting since from my Junior secondary school days, then I never knew much about literature. But later in my senior secondary school, I started writting well because of the knowledge and skills I got. When ever I have wriiten a poem, I always take it to my literature teacher who would always be happy to go through my write-ups and will edit and criticise it, after which I will go and print it then It will be pasted on the school notice board.
