Under dark blue skies
happy children played fun games.
Thunder cracked, bombs fell.
Living and dying.
Juxtaposed realities:
The cradle and grave.
The skies were crying;
pecking birds flew to their nests.
Worms had a party.
War knocked at the door;
Peace answered: No vacancies!
Hope held hands with faith.
State of the nation:
We watch a pilgrim’s progress;
Time clocks the future.
The cocoon opened;
The butterfly kissed the air.
The lizard feasted.
Painful time lags on;
Possibilities linger.
Doctors treat; God heals.
