It Was Not So In The Beginning Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

They have awaken the earth again,
The drumers are now asleep painfully.
The black pots are now white and grey;
Whiter than the craving sky, it wasn't so
In the beginning someone compromised.


The women are birthing tears daily,
The suitors have no wife to marry,
The moon is now black and sticky,
They have awaken the earth again
Wives are now husbands and husbands wives.


Someone compromised the beginning,
Someone changed the logo of peace,
Death had been given birth yesterday
And sorrow matured in the life of men.
No one can erease the darkness that emerged.


Fishes no longer swim but fly up there,
Fowls no longer crow but sing down there,
More dangers are created by the ants while
The elephants are seen lobbying mechanically,
Someone compromised the beginning sinfully.
