In Seek of the World To Believers

Poem by Judekelvin Igbonekwu

To believers (Islamic or Christianity or Atheism)
For the Sri Lanka terror attack

The lord does not foretell tomorrow – a man’s’ future –
Do not be fooled –
It’s an in-depth knowledge of the human
Mind he foresees and predicts –

Forgive me, Lord, if I have sinned
The truth need be told someday

I have seen the new ever-living century bible
Hidden in the dumb of our minds –
The sermon told by our dumb lords
So go on – killing the innocent –

The first scripture says our sin is cleansed
From their death by our numb hands
Chapter two – go on atomizing the believers,
And verse three –
Die calling in reverence the same lord we judge as divine

Dumb lords, they know our insecurities of the
Scriptural truth, the new lord of our
Little sinful mind – kill two or three and
Heaven’s gate will receive you
Even though we are as spot, a blemish in
The lords’ eye –

The Almighty forgives, bring two or three souls,
kill for His sake
as if the Lord’s anger is drenched in compassion
To man’s sinful faces
So go on, lord’s soul fetcher warrior –
