A LETTER TO THE WORLD

It doesn’t matter in 

what format it is displayed,

Written in ink or projected 

On screens it’s all the same

This is a letter to the world…

Speaking to you and me, 

So we can pay more attention

On what we have,

Being victims of knowing things 

The time we lose them is not what we deserve…

You see, 

God gave us that second chance to live

But still we fail to appreciate

What He did…

All that we know

 Is to compare the devil with Him,

His son turned water into wine, 

What did the devil do?

He turned you into a deadly 

Human being with no good….

Fed nations with five loafs and two fishes,

Your honor fed nations with HIV,

And left them with bloody bruises …

What do we do 

when we open that mail 

And go through the letter?

We sit back and say ‘’it doesn’t speak to me’’

Open your eyes and decide 

On what you want to be…

The world is heading to an end,

Where you visualize live pornography 

Day light around street corners,

ARV’s no longer fixing HIV 

Instead they fix addictions…

A family with more step children 

Than biological,

A church where preachers 

Are protected by guns and no more God…

Teenage pregnancy be employment 

Where  sisters are getting paid,

Sex before marriage is a sin, 

But when we read the holy book 

We skip that page…

Streetwise ghetto kids 

Being filthy and sour than KFC itself,

Priceless life where womanhood is there to serve…

Those who are there to protect the world,

Are the ones tearing it apart….

Gone are those days 

When swimming was one good sport to play,

When men battled for glory as they ran relays….

What did we do wrong?

Fellow brothers stoned to death 

And swim a pool of blood,

Brutalism is the only famous game 

Which is played around

Running is no more for victory 

But lifesaving…..

That time when a necklace 

Was the best gift you can get,

Now we wear it while crying 

And pleading for help…

Where is that spirit of Ubuntu?

Where is the love shed by 

His blood back in 33AD?

A second chance is what we deserve 

But to the third,

Procrastination be the waste of time 

So they said

Numbers don’t lie, 

Indeed the clock running fast…

Time is fading, 

Opportunities won’t be waiting,

If it is to be, it is up to you. 

Because this is…

A letter for you to read, 

A letter for you to share…

 WORD!!
