If wishes were horses.

Papa and Mama said education is the way.

I believed without doubting like Thomas and went after it.

Uncles and Aunties showed me the successes attached to education,

And I swallowed it all;

Hook, line, bait and sinker.

Grandpa and Grandma said I'll go to OBODO OYIBO,

If only I read my books well.

What they all failed to tell me is to pursue my happiness;

allowing me live their dreams for them.

A dream I wished I never lived because there's nothing - absolutely nothing to show for it.

Now I wish I hadn't believed them,

Because education is now a death for me,

And I can't shatter their wrinkled dreams for me.

Alas! it's too late.

Oh! If wishes were horses,

I would have ridden my way to success.
