To Beloved In Hell Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Forgive- Maria
And know of darling shivers
Forgive- Maria
And know truly I failed
Forgive absence
And all betraying mine
For letting down
And coursing heavens path
Forgive- Maria
Relate litt'l Jane and Jude
Heavens treachery
That stole father
And seized arms his
Tell them still
Of a coward father
And pray- they absolve me
Forgive- Maria
For was unavoidable grace that damned me

Forgive- dear Ma
And sniff torment mine herein
Forgive beloved mother
And know truly I tried
I lied, drunk got and Lord cursed
And all told
Can presence forth- did
But forgive son- dear ma
This failing that seems betrayal
Tell expectant father
Of heavens treachery on favorite son
Tell when cloistered in presence
That he may loyal eyes sweat in secrecy
Forgive son- dear ma
For making imperfect family yours
-Know truly mother
Was unavoidable grace that damned
To heaven shores
Where torment all etern- thy absence
