Our Widow's Mite

by Tashi Zadok
(Abuja, Nigeria)

To want to be,
To stand and see.
A nation strong,
forever Young.

To look beyond
The yonder's bound.
To leave a mark
That never lacks.

To be or not to be is the question
-Shakespeare said,
But what we do in faith
We make a better fate.

To thou begone,
To you become.
And though the winds shall come again,
The Eagle shall rise to fight again.
