Call of Duty

Call of Duty

A Poem by Funmi Elizabeth Olaiya

I stand up from my bed

I look at the sun rays through the window

Is this how it's going to start and end?,

I say to myself

This is the call of duty!

 

I'm a fighter

Whether I win or not

I am victorious

What are you?

This is the call of duty!

 

Everyday I pray

I want to live to see the next day

But with the things going on around me I say,

Can GOD please just take me away?

This is the Call of Duty!

 

I wake up day and night to toil

Hard work is no playing toy

It involves every girl and boy

I say,Can they do this with joy?

This is the call of duty!
