When will we tire of waiting?
by Yewande Omotoso
When will we tire of waiting?
Waiting for the right day to protect the seed
Yesterday hanging on the low branch
Today hanging on the high branch
Tomorrow unreachable
Then gone.
Every day onwards is now.
Every day past is now too.
Tomorrows were lost the first time we took the guts and called them gold.
Will it be too late to find Tomorrows the day we relearn the true value of guts left unmined
and call the unborn seeds golden?
