Dear work of my hands
The one I so treasured in my image
I've come to meet you at your discontent
Open your ears and let's engage
Shout your pain past walls of Amistad
Talk to me of your lament
Each morning I set a light over your head
And your lungs are full of my breathe
I am the song of the early bird
I am the beat at your heart
Can't you feel me?
The blood surging through your veins
And you say you search me in vain
Was that not you
I formed your soul before you came here
And placed you in the love of her womb
While they many shed tears
Your parents of joy,some of miscarriages
While each night you were in peace
Some saw slaughter and blood in their lives
While you struggled through school
Some wasted away in truancy
While your stomach collapsed in full
Some danced flames of hunger
While I listen to your many prayers
Shall you blaspheme me for your ungratefulness
Hey flesh of dust
Were you not the one that I heard about
When Akinyi sobbed from a broken heart
When Waithera called for her competition defeat
When I came down to take stock
And for those who invest more add more
I saw you clinging on misery
I saw a man cringing at lessons
They skived the class to take real tests
I saw you seek me in the wrong place
Though I set you apart as a chosen one
Though each day I bear your impatience
Though I ignore the accuser of your valid sins
Though I bled my Son on the cross
To set away the true wages of your misgivings
You've took my mercy for granted
And emptied it with nonsense so gross
You've shuttered your heart with blindness
And filled my temple with sacrilege
Where do you want to me live?
The spirit of truth you've refused to believe
What's left for me to forgive?
Now that you're full self-righteous
Raise those hopes of whom are wilting
Teach a newborn the language to the breast
Tell the sun to rise and rain to cease
Breath life to a mountain of fire
Answer both the prayer of
A coffin maker and that of a doctor
A gambler and betting company
A teen having premarital sex asking for protection from pregnancy
Hey dear one,
There you go,be God.
