The Unknown

by Mercellinus Ogolo

It was a dark and shiny night
When we heard a cry of a new creature
Which name is worth to be untold

growing strong and mighty
age running like water from the tap
changing lives and changing the world

growing as tall as a giraffe
drawing the picture of the nature
believing the brightest of his future

It will be unknown to anyone
later would be known to everyone
and later you will all see the beauty in his eyes.
