Center is middle

Poem by Olayemi Ayo · 2026

Center is middle
The middle ground is dead
Caught between the walls
Walls as high as the tower of babel
Caught between four walls
Walls at the front and back
One at the right and left
We are caught between trouble waters
Tears over filled our eyes dropping back as rain
Rose flowers grow for beautification
Beauty in ashes for breakthrough is meant for us
