Dear Quarantine,
you came and taught us the don’t of an occupied time,
time we moved from up to down in search of a dime.
Whilst you approached the idea of social distancing wasn’t even a recognized word,
you placed it as a pinned tweet made by a demi-god.
Quarantine,
When you came, you twisted our daily movements to be a crime.
Only allowed us to moved from that to this,
you gave us the liberty of letting our dreams come through.
That of Lagos to London within two weeks,
you made it all happen in Our Phones In less than two minutes.
We actively traveled all round the states of this country social media
From Instagram to WhatsApp down to Facebook not to forget where the real lives of my people exist “Twitter”.
We moved,
we Subscribed,
we spent.
We let the tiny active spirit left in us to be awaken,
Ogbeni matured man:
We all engaged in games-
Challenges,
we shared memes,
funny moments.
From the comfort of our beds.
Dear Quarantine,
If there’s one thing I am grateful for,
Its for the time you gave me to communicate with my Soul.
