Following, 2 Other Poems by Daniel Atu
Poem 1: FOLLOWING
Don’t be a sojourner
Who has no cue
Be a stranger yet with a guardian
I’ve seen where princes lose their way
And slaves locate the right paths
All became possible with the spirit of love
A soul given to prayers
And a body put under fetter
Through Following A Man Is Made.
Poem 2: THE NEW LIFE
I have come to accept my fate
If destiny did not favor me
In Christ Jesus will I establish my faith
Though the scar will last forever
Nothing can be done better than to live a new life.
Poem 3: SCURRYING TIME
What is life without a drive?
Right before my orifices
Reality has betrayed me
Daily, my pillow is soaked with tears
Smile has disappeared!
It’s now a matter of scurrying time.
