change is a pill that unwillingly
swallows a desire that time will betray.
to adapt, one is never prepared enough.
time. weather. food. culture. prejudice.
the choice to willingly tour the world.
it’s a freedom that comes with shackles.
it’s a clear expression without feelings.
one tall iroko tree cannot make a forest.
there’s a hopeful guide – God. the factor.
an escape route. books. family. friends.
