PAPER Q.

 By Kayode Shopekan

Running helter skelter, from pillar to post

Is man’s activity

“No dying no resting “

Is the motto he drives

He swiftly blends in to pursue paper

On his behalf 6 years are pledged

So for some twelve hours of the next 6 years, he is a prisoner

Nobody consider him a factor in the situation

On his behalf,

A plan is carefully constructed

Which he must follow through

Again he is isolated in the decision making process

So still in the pursuit of paper Q

He is dedicated to confinement

Though this time, his jail term of 6 years can be divided in to equal halves

But, he still must follow through

He is always locked in,

Within the four walls of a gate

At times cries and fights but it adds up to nothing

In the pursuit of this paper

Which can be a tissue that ladies use

Paper!

On his own now

He dedicates the next 4 years of his life

Just to acquire paper

Which can be bought at the market, bookshop, printing press etc.

At last he gets it

But he uses it not

Oh! What a waste.
