ACW-UA POETRY : what actually does the mind wants? The answer and many more will you find in this poem by Olusegun

WHAT THE MIND WANTS

What the mind wants
Is to dwell in a group of minds.
Bind not only by the cord of fate,
But also of love.

What the mind wants
Is to seek knowledge
Without blockages.
Not with jumbled mind
Nor with leer belly.

What the mind wants
Is to live among the extended siblings.
Dine in the same bowl; and
Never be clothed with hatred .

What the mind wants
Is not the play of old foos ,
But the staging of young epic minds.
To bring dreams alive.

What the mind wants
Is not to see basic amenities
As luxury.
Like many see them, here.

What the mind wants
Is peace, like the silence in the heart of midnight.
Not fear , like the antelope
Running for life at the face of death.

What the mind wants
Is that the Father
Sow love and mercy in the minds; and
Guide, to console weeping minds.
