Find Reflections on Metaphysics I here
And Reflections on metaphysics II here
Today
I woke up earlier
To ponder
On life and its wonders
How we hide
under the pretence
Of religious credence
To perpetrate
Monumental Decadence
veiled in the cloak
Of holiness
Behind pulpits and in temples
And
we feed the crossroads
With offerings from
Preaching prosperity
never of salvation
to get eternal life
But,
Have we pondered
Why it’s the night that falls
Yet
it’s the day that breaks?
And so,
Last night,
I dozed off earlier
Into slumber
In order to conquer
The deities that loiter
Over crossroads and altar
For,
human beings falter
Despite the creeds of water
Failing to prep for yonder.
Like a stammerer
You begin to wonder
Why human beings stutter
Like a day old toddler
With hope of living forever
And so I remember,
That,
Last night,
I dozed off earlier
Deep Into slumber
So l could conquer
The jinns that wander
Over crossroads and altar
‘Lanre Bucknor writes from Lagos and wonders everyday why we as humans forget our exact purpose in this life. As much as ‘Lanre believes there are men who are close to the Almighty, he also know for certain that, the Almighty is close to every one of us too depending on how well we know HIM. But then, we need to get closer to our holy book and I for this piece draws inspiration from Q24:44.
