To the light

To the light A people besmirched Burdened, overladdened with guilt Cremated with their sins The law of the jungle makes victims of them Hordes of sorrow Buried beneath A silent voice speaks To the light, to the light.. Decades of obscene petulance Putrid leaders throwing tantrums Vagrancy depicted from imbecilic utterances Poverty outlining horizons Millions in bed with sorrows Nations aglow with horror The silent voice speaks. Urging the dying to live.. To the light, to the light .. The heavens descend A witness to a violent end Clara gathers her children Helen leaves Joseph And strives to fend for herself James counts pennies in a shredded wallet Karma strives for her pound of flesh Turmoil, upheaval Extinction to the human experiment The silent one speaks... To the light, to the light... Absolution is here © Akintomide Ifedayo Adigwe All rights reserved
