Destiny Ride

Destiny Ride

Dimeji Salau

Like a shadow it trails, but frowns
Shrouded in unfortunate mystery, it drowns
Victims's eyes in heavy brine, it turns brown
Yet on the victor's head it harbours crown

People toil everyday from dusk to noon
Hoping to savour the evening under the moon
But victims and victors are made out of them soon
Why is it that life's storm blows some to their room
But others to their doom
Unanswered, the question of destiny rather looms

For us, let's sit not alone
Brooding on fate that remains unknown
With a little more effort out of our comfort zone
Destiny will smile at us from above 
And it's despair will be gone.
