The Paradox by PenAStory: 8:02am On Feb 10, 2016 |
http://penastory.com/2016/02/10/the-paradox-aina-ifedotun-victor/ To the born-eagles still walking among chickens To the redeemed but far from perfect To the thirsty that search with ignorance To the believer who still can’t find a reason To the syphoned; who feel used To those who still looks at the mirror even though they know it’s lying to them To those who ain’t comfortable with sovereignty To the unweaned; who still sense a rush at the sound of the word “Life” Let me indulge you Shake-off the belief; there’s nothing like tomorrow Forget the verdict; no one person is right Disremember the thoughts; nothing really matters Excuse me; stop trying not to be like your parents Life as we have it is unfair and still pretty amazing Keep trying to understand; it will never make sense Let me ask you How loud does an alarm clock need to be to wake a dead man? Can Spittle and sand open the blind’s eyes? Could we have crucified our Savior? Here’s the dichotomy of existence – the headlines Smiling but unhappy Righteous but dead White but really dark on the inside Beautiful but sternly corrupt Praised but condemned within Justified by the created but guilty before the creator Love is not enough again Learn freely from what I learned from failing miserably Life only makes sense at the foot of the cross More literary pieces on www.penastory.com |
