I have come here to testify
About my sad-happy life
About that life which is wretched
Filled with sprawling pains
Don't mind my looks
Mind my testimony
Don't my threadbare shirt
It's part of my testimony
The testimony is sweet
When you swallow something bitter;
Yes! I have been blessed with curses of
Poverty, sickness and hunger
Some say I am like a dry Iroko tree
Is it not a testimony?
Am I still not breathing
I still like my outlined skeleton in my skin
Thanks for your applause
Thank you! Thank you!
May you always be like me
May you walk the path
OR
Have you forgotten that saying
"MAY YOUR ROAD BE ROUGH"

"MAY YOUR ROAD BE ROUGH"
ReplyDeleteno wonder ppl didnt respond to dis post,
u scared dem away!!!!!!
pretty nice though
I do remember that saying...
ReplyDelete"May your road be rough!" In fact it is the statement that always comes to mind whenever I remember my English classes at secondary school.
I still remember the gasps we made when our english teacher first said it (The statement was attibuted to Tai Solarin btw)a fine (now deceased naija public citizen).
Then we broke it down and realised the statement was indeed a motivational one and a positive one too.
It's quite possible someone said it before Solarin. More likely the case but can't remember who.
