I've seen enough


I've seen enough,
Enough of the red water
That runs in human veins.
Enough to last me a lifetime
Have I seen these days.

We are at war
Not physically embattled maybe
But psychologically so.
For our minds are troubled
And our lines have crumbled
Beyond repairs so.
Our hearts want out
Since we now speak in divided tones.

Harmony is lost
Succour is sought behind the borders.
Our music is the slashing
Death throes are the back ups

Since they couldn't help, let's
Help ...
For survive we must
Whether singly or unitedly laughing.

DATE OF BIRTH

To he who falsifies you, falsifies not you but his existence. He has doubted his birth. His mother never conceived him nine months earlier.
The labour pains and cries were not heard that night of birth. God had not helped in bringing him forth from his mother's womb. There had only been a comic representation of his genesis in that Birth Certificate. He has lied to the world that he was not born that day. His life had been a falasy all along. He has denied his age and annual achievement.
For what? A cheap position or attainment? At the expense of eternal life? Since his temporary pilgrimage on earth is false, eternal abode is a non-existent for him.
Once more, what has he done?
If educated, he has denied the class lessons and lectures his teachers had given him on some particular dates. The engagements, stress and activities of some days had never been.
If parents allow this, then they have proven what ingrates they are to God for safe delivery on that night of birth. They have also denied God's blessings. Then they are false. For false begets false, and counterfeit, counterfeit.
