CHOPPED WOOD

They chopped it down

Then thought it was over

The tree is gone

No place to call a home

Take the wood into the fire

Let it burn to ashes

We will never hear of it again

In this I wept

Who will save the soul

The soul left to rot on the wood

The chopped wood

In a trance,

Like a flash

I saw the curtain tear in half

A mighty wind was here

But how will everything become one piece?

Suddenly, From the ashes,

The roots stretched

From the earth, it rose

The great tree of steel never to die anymore

3 days was all it took

They never expected this

Once a rejected wood now the choicest furniture

My Jesus hung on the tree

Has risen to set me free

Freeborn, new born.

So I celebrate this grace, hallelujah.

OBLIVION

She was out later than usual. She just had a lot of work to cover so she could earn more and rest too. She never stayed out this late. As a single mum, in a new town, she made sure she was always available for her eleven year old Misheal. It started as a light shower, then a heavy downpour. Disappointed looking at her titanium plated wristwatch which was already washing off, she checked the time at the same time recalling when she first got the watch. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. Elvis hurried to meet up with her from his recess. He bought her lunch, a plate of chicken and fries with a cup of cappuchino her favourite. She was overjoyed when she saw the simple gift. Even though it was not worth much, but coming from Elvis even in the midst of the financial crisis he faced, it was everything. " You didn't have to do this Elvis." She said half smiling, mouth agape, fingers covering her mouth hiding her expression. "I'd do anything for you Ma ...

THE WAR

THE WAR ...And that was how the war started. Gun shots everywhere, commotion, fire, people screaming. I woke up in shock wondering if it was a dream. My mum was heavy with my brother. Dad was trying soo hard to get the family together. Mother snatched me from the bed, strapped me on her back. Dad held her hand and we made for the exit. Mum was very heavy, fat, swollen and big bellied. I fear for how she will make it. Admist screams and panic, my dad ran with mum and I into the wild for safety. At that point, I recalled my favourite song and started singing. Dad placed a palm on my mouth with a stern face which meant I should keep shut. I smiled wondering why I could not sing in the midst of the fire works. Mum shrieked in pain. "What is it Honey?" My dad asked "I think I'm losing him" my mum replied. "O God not now" my dad whispered in frustration. "What do you need? What can I do t...

GENIUS

To the one genuis, yes you I know you. You think you can hide in that facade of perfect illusion But I broke through it. I still know you Completely You care about your looks, sometimes you know you don't look so good But you say you have no dress sense and you are clad with humour, Everyone laughs it off But it's just a ploy to divert everyone's attention from your fear of bad looks You say you know me, Yes you claim to know everyone They believe in you They trust you Instead you create a group of blind followers What you claim to be Is like sands on the sea Infinite and impossible You are a good performer On stage you tremble You are stricken with tension But you say you are always ready then coat it with I don't even know if I'm ready and seal it with an encouragement to a fellow performer. No one notices your flaws You perfectly conceal them But I know You are scared that I do So you want to paint me as someone controversial Pa...
