Obed Akuma Poems

You say you are rich
You tell us you know everything
You say you are powerful
You tell us you will serve us
...

Am still running
Panting, running
In the rain sweating
In the rain with a hot feeling
...

The drops, round heavy thick spheres that fell with a loud thud
Up and down, left and right the leaves twisted
The force of the drops, with unmatched perseverance, the leaves withstood
The dust on the leaves, in torrents, the rain washed
...

Beyond the meeting and the parting, we shall be soon
Beyond the sorrow and the grief, we shall be soon
Beyond the fear and the worry, we shall be soon
Beyond the corruption and the deception, we shall be soon
...

A Masterpiece under Repair (part I)
The crown of creation
The Master Creator’s perfection
In Eden enthroned with dominion
...

The Lord’s name
Power name
A tower name
A strong name
...

The eternal legacy it is
That covers infinite epochs
To them that He loves
To keep of a legacy
...

Somewhere in the cultivated field
A hoe rises and falls
Small grains fall as they get buried
Somewhere in the cultivated field
...

There is a fullness of essential Deity, for 'in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead.' There is a fullness of perfect manhood, for in Him, bodily, that Godhead was revealed. There is a fullness of atoning efficacy in His blood,
For 'the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.'
There is a fullness of justifying righteousness in His life,
For 'there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.'
...

Cry and groan

Large hollow dimples appearing on the cheeks
