Release your gift
There’s none bereft of gifting and value;
the blessings embedded at creation,
when a formless mass metamorphosed,
into suckling heartbeats of innocence.
Â
Virtuous attributes like dew abound;
in His image every one with a measure,
ignorant all lay dormant pending activation,
to grease with good the wheels of life.
Â
Humanity bleeds of drought and relapse;
consumed by the tempest of vices,
plagues crafted with creepy hands of the heart,
a crippling drift from the provision of God.Â
Â
Depravity amidst plenty active and bold;
heavenly virtues congealed and fusty,
nothing to douse the hellhole of evil unleashed,
as man and host grapple to define the union.
Â
Confined in the dark of ignorance we lament;
electing to live the lows that we conceive,
downbeats the mind embraces with ease,
deliberate or oblivious the best in chains and mute.
Â
Be not weaned off the grace from above;
creative goodness streaming in the vein,
plonk iniquity and flaccidness to the skip car,
lounging is a soul fulfilling heavenly destiny.
Â
                            In His Grip,
