Lifetime Voyage Poem by Joshua Adewumi

Lifetime Voyage



They came into this world
Down the rope of volition;
They all board a ship
For their lifetime voyage.

Her name was ‘life and death',
The only one of her kind.
Her crews: men and women,
Theist and atheist.
All breathing in the air
Filled with the spirit of her world.

Their sailors were astrologers
Chasing the stars of hope.
With their children
they all sailed toward the city of prosperity.

They were deceived by a lighthouse
Raised by the men from Tartarus.
When the storm of their desire erupt
They had no anchor of faith.

They submitted to be wavered,
Whirled around by demonic winds.
Now they have hit the reef;
Down the ocean they must sail.

Hope is what they lack!
Even while there was much,
They are drunk in there sins
And their inner eyes are sour.

For the men that seek for hope
Where no man sees hope,
I bring to you hope,
Hope beyond hopes.
Wear the life coat,
Join the life boat,
Let us flee the woe
that will come before before we see hope.
