I Uttered A Word Poem by Gbeti gaius Kafui

I uttered a word
Attracted the hatred of the world.
No room given for change of mind.
No one to keep me moving forward.

I uttered a word
And thought the earth ll open and swallow me.
Freedom of speech but mine curtailed
Never imagined what the implications may be
I am not wise at all at least that is what the world made me feel

Because, I uttered a word
A word i thought could help restore faith in humanity.
A word meant to heal the world.
A word meant to unify the entire world under one umbrella of great opportunity.
To liberate life beyond ethnic, racial and any form of boundaries.

I utterd a word
Smiling face went down like the sun rised from east and fell to the west
A word that drove away opportunist
A word that made the weak know a true philanthropist
A word that judge the human conscience on it own
A word upon which the foundation of the planet earth was established

My eyes have seen my ears
I see a catastrophe sweeping my people like a hurricane
Taking hopes and visions away
I see mine own words bringing calamities on my people
No wonder nobody mentioned it.
Oh LOVE -your usage is getting instinct
