Her Lamentations
Tell her life…
Life… a fresh leaf
Bitter like bitter-leaf
Same time healthful;
So for all the ant-labor
She labors
She should be so hopeful…
Lord, help her!!
What is hope without you?
Oblige her heart to anticipate
Sharpen her eyes
To see from where she stands;
Her past efforts, and to come,
Wish she could see her future
It looks so bright
It will be beautiful…
Oh lord!!
Even when the dark cloud comes
Breaking their bonds
Thereafter, hope she’ll be so grateful
Make her see things
Then she would know
That the ant-labors
Not in vain…

Comment:
The period the writer (Onyeche Vincent Onyeka) wrote this piece, was one of his hard days after school. He had finished his O’ level and was supposed to have gone for his NYSC. Due to his personal carelessly and incommunicado, he missed out the first batch (Batch B’ June 2010) and was expecting to be included in the Batch C’ (September list). Accidently, there was another setback. His name was also missing in the batch C’ list released September 2010. This time it wasn’t his own carelessness but of his’ department (Biochemistry, DELSU). Which they gave an annoying excuse; “Head of Department (HOD) traveled out of the country”. He labors hard with hope but like every other kismet-searching youth, here is his lamentations; “Hope I Make It in Life”.
