Silence of the Soul

27th May, 2010.

This Is about the ongoing religious chaos in Jos State, Nigeria.

Sky turns dull swiftly
Stars fade into bleak space
Wind airs arid breeze
Nature despondent cries

Ache sweeps me off joy
As happiness resents even my sight
Forlorn in this stormy conflict
I long for the showers of delight

Lost in the path of love
I prowl with diverse victims in santuary
My heart weeps in despair
As I await to be unmask by love

Trees singing the dirge endlessly
Lawn quivers in distress
As shears cuts through them
Left desolate like nomads

As I unviel this cradle of misery
Loneliness hovers in while
Depression wonders through me
Wailing for affection pain blindfolds me

Sitting in the refuge camp
I supress my sobs in my locket
Thinking of when I stepped out
Not knowing that was the end

Waiting for The Saviour
To untie me from this shackles
Of self-induced torment by insatible souls

In the hearts of an agog city
