Dear Runner,
Where to this time?
Mali? Ghana? East Africa? Dubai?
Or is it the UK? Does the thing you are running away from,
deserve all the visa processing wahala?
“I’m not running, I’m seeking.”
Seeking for What? Seeking What?
“For third second chances.”
“I’m tired.”
“I need a re-start.”
How many re-starts will you scout for in a lifetime?
“As many as I need.”
“I will continue running (Oops, no. Seeking - till I find).”
“May God help me find.”
What are you actually seeking for?
“Home.”
Is home on this side of eternity?
“A type of home – yes!”
You have run from friends, family, ex-colleagues, neighbours
When will you stop?
How would you stop?
Who would help you stop?
Why should you stop?
Should you stop?
Stop!
