A Soul In Different Figures Poem by Gbolagade Taiwo

A Soul In Different Figures

Rating: 4.3


In pretence they came
They promised to pay your ransom
They lured you to their tent
With their mouth full of bitter honey
They are lion in the heart
In physique they are sheep
On getting to their tent
They turned you to a canivore
And unto them, you are like a long time sore
O men! Are you not created by one father?
Are you not moulded with the same dust?
Why then have you turned your blood to a stinking sore?
Check your fingers
Are they in the same arithmetical order?
Have you not been favoured by your heavenly father?
Why then are you living like you are the source of your good fortune?
O men! Remember, your father gave you one soul
But in different figures
You are like coke and fanta
Different in colour taste and name
But from the same company they are produced
Therefore, you have been joined by your heavenly father
With one soul
But you are different in figures
Prepare yourself for the day
That your heavenly father
Will ask you how you show
Your love to your fellow men
While on earth.
