To My Sacrificial Lamb Poem by Samuel Obono Jr

To My Sacrificial Lamb



A sacrificial lamb
lies ready
wisdom is tethered about its neck
so it dare not run
it kisses the white altar
as it bleeds
a flood of mysteries
the Isaac
of an obedient Abraham:
A priest
spokesman of his people
a voice of all ages
atoning for their wits
