Sleep Not Child

By Olufunke Kolapo

Glide through
Slide through
Sleep not child
No time to linger
This world, too fragile to lean on
Heed not her lullaby
There' re pines on her bed
Beak it through
Chip it away
Struggling still
Let not your will slip
On her slippery slope
Your hope, your drive
Sleep not child
