IF YOU DON’T TRAVEL
 
I always marvel 
Whenever I travel 
 
Because if you don’t travel 
And extensively explore 
How can you open those awaiting doors? 
Mysteries always lie waiting to be unraveled 
 
I travel with my eyes 
Watching those silently cry 
Asking themselves the question why 
Someone left them without saying goodbye 
 
I travel with my thoughts 
Abundant knowledge I have found and sought 
 
I travel with my pen 
To write about children, women and men 
 
I travel with my voice 
Speaking sensibly refusing to induce confusing noise 
 
I travel with hope 
Believing something new will spring into my horoscope 
Whether in Africa or whether in Europe 
There is always room, there is always scope 
 
I travel to many places 
Mix with different culture and races 
Identify tribes by their faces 
Everyone I always embrace 
 
I travel with or without money 
So please listen to my testimony 
Every experience is worth life’s journey 
 
I travel with intensive faith 
Lavishing love rather than being defensive with hate 
 
Because if you don’t travel 
How can you grow? 
How can you know, 
What is beneath the dust and below the gravel?
