If We're To Be Destroyed Poem by Mduduzi OneMind

If We're To Be Destroyed



Take a moment, as you read, your heart will begin to bleed. The urge is too deep, the plague is to pierce your intelligent, stabbing your conscious. Followed by the screams of your tormented conscience.

You're guilty of sin, says the voices in your head. You remembered the days of your shameful nights. In the dark were you practically practiced all your unlawful fights. Stained white sheets with bloody sacrifices. Like shamans you felt levitated when your desires were gratified.

Filled with happiness you forgot to be kind to the needy and the blind. With your friends you left them behind. Starving and struggling, you left them to die before they could say goodbye to their loved ones.

But worry not, for you are not alone. We are standing together on Mount Sanai sharing transgressions, Looking into the furious Eyes of Jehovah. Eruption of volcanoes, watching his anger falling like lava.

Through the earthquakes Ukuzama-zama Komhlaba. The earth is shaken by the voices of thousand sacred individual beings of high reason and logic. It's a psychological struggle as we suffer from the electrical sound waves.

We stand tall with our chests out. We are not slaves. So we fear not the flames. We're humans after all. Boastful and proud, we stand our ground. Ignorant egocentric beings. The pride is our ride to the graves.

No time to hesitate, blink and be eliminated. If we are to be thrown into the pit of lions, we surely don't deserve it. If we are to be wiped by floods and hurricanes, we surely don't deserve it also.

And if we're to be destroyed, by humanoids who are functionally paranoid. We won't escape further, we shall meet up with our end like the messiah on crucifixion.

There won't be peace, nor negotiations. Just us, who are cursed and designed for destruction. Us who are no longer humans by heart. Our souls shall be forever trapped into the dungeons. In the presence of leviathan and legions.
