The Cry That Stopped Him Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

The Cry That Stopped Him

Rating: 1.0


On the road of appointment He trekked
While by the dusty roadside he sat and inquired
And upon knowledge of the passerby he cried
Sorrow, desire, hope and faith laden
A voice that refused rebuke
To cry louder

Summoned before His presence
He appealed for his sight
Neither gold nor silver

Determination and faith earned him divine healing
In one caring, merciful and forgiving

How long have my people cried
In near Hades Nigeria
Who listens? Who cares? To whom?
Save He above everyday.

Truly death is a beautiful thing looking at the nature of living kind though we all are scared of dying but it's a path we must all pass through, nice one Kingsley.
