"Once in a Life Time" by Isaac Oluyi


I hate wearing other people’s garbs
I like expressing my inner being
Without being subservient to societal norms
To live for others is to be enslaved
To please others at your expense is to live a fake life
Fake life, a propeller of ennui and dissatisfaction
Engenders cacophony in thoughts and actions
But alas! Many are in this web of confusion
To speak like Demosthenes and scribble like Soyinka
I need to dig deep and look inwards
To live out my passion and talent with zeal

Not minding whose ox is gored nor gets entangled by societal dictates.
