WHILE ON HIS WAY

Some eyes, though, were red from mournful cry
For he was the man that healed their scourging souls
Some women poured their painful stream of tears
For the man that healed their worn-out hearts




From the mouth of mighty men
From the open holes of cemented teeth of swayed little ones
From the heightened wicked actions of men
Came words that tore apart that which was soon to mend it all.
This he did on his way to Golgotha

Legs banging and bashing upon dusty grounds
Shaking the earth for the crowd was large.
And upon the shouts of cursing men
Drenching spittle from sorrowful tongues
Still to give up was not a choice
While he moved in pain to Golgotha




Some eyes, though, were red from mournful cry
For he was the man that healed their scourging souls
Some women poured their painful stream of tears
For the man that healed their worn-out hearts
Was the same man who fell thrice on ground,
The same one with broken sides.
Such pain they could not hide,
While on his way to Golgotha

A woman came and wiped his face
And this image came upon the cloth:
A picture of the broken face
Of a man who was just
Showing love to those whose souls were lost
And to every man, he paid the cost
While in pains he took the cross
To nowhere else but to that place of death
For he embraced pain to Golgotha.

To save us all, he bore it all
He wept out blood, he took the fall
He took the curse, Lifted the cross
And took with him all heightened shame.
He knew to give us the perfect name
A life's lost was the stern cost
So in love shown through pain, he continued
To no other place but to Golgotha.

God and The Snail: Poetry For Some One Lost Soul

Sometimes it feels Like all is done, That this life of ours Is caught in deadly thorns: From where we cry for help in a land Where to have ears is a great taboo! But in all these... we remember...

WHO DOES THIS BELONG TO? By MIDÉ BENEDICT

This is for those Who see life as an unfair land, Where growth is fairly found only On luck's fragile and ferocious tree: It is for those whose eyes only See reality as a coin Always tossed to uncertainty: For those who see misery As an inescapable ditch, Never to be seen when its mouth agars, Never to be escaped when its venom runs, But to be delivered like a slave for a ritual, Thrown like a cotyledon into dry soil, To germinate failure like a blocked well, Hoping to salvage a droughty throat. For those whose first name is lucky, Whose last name is uncertainty And middle name misery, Know that which you know not that The poison in your tongue is The wine your life drinks; It drinks on and on till stupor calls for death And stupidity dresses its grave Like a young man before a mirror, Staring unthinkingly at his face, Till he sees greyness in his eyes. This is for those who see eye to eye With the words on this slate. Image by Midé Benedict

TIED TO FREEDOM by Mide Benedict

Don’t hold me down L ike I’m in some cave Just like a bird flies Where nothing breathes light Through a hidden dark sky L ike an existence lost in inexistence, Locked up in a bottle     T hat only lives every day in an every minute coffin Tightened with an unbreakable cover.    Free me I said, but you brought me this! What freedom is more painful than   Eye balls without sights; faith without work like To walk on a spot;                    Mountains tied to your legs   While eyes go dark                    As you walk unmoving: In a place surrounded by light;            What a freedom!
