Walking Corpse Poem by Dare Onadele

Walking Corpse



I have seen God work;
Spirit in speed yielding His words;
Angels busy actualizing His works.
Heaven and earth are His designs
Firmly formed on pillars of the sea.

All trees today were pronounced seed:
Commanding the hand-course of wind
Fresh air fills where he holds life to see
Essential for creations to breed.

I have seen God speak:
It goes with fear and trembling.
Stronger than lion’s roaring;
Deeper than whale’s swimming;
Louder than elephant’s trumpeting;
Faster than cheetah’s running;
Sweeter than bird’s singing;

And flower’s morning opening.
Still men yet behold his beauties
Claiming aloof of divine majesty
To stand at least of God’s glory.
All men were molded just as cookies.
To them He gave creation authority
All are awesome and amazing!

Still but are men with eyes yet blind?
With life but walk the place of the dead?
Only fools tread the ways of the ingrates;
Which fast aid the digging of their graves.
Their mouths are slippery and lack braces
They are bankrupt of morals and modesty

They suffer wrath of cancer of mouth
Lacking witty words in their dictionary.
Having cholera incessantly purging folly
The longing in their gathering is of idiocy
They spread fast and recruit amoral brethren
Seize to be no one egg hatch by their hen.
