Obed Akuma Poems

Confidence in you He has
Bestowing a treasure He has
For you to have
For you to develop
...

can't avoid but salvate
when its named
can't avoid but salvate
when its aroma is 'smelled'
...

Intently projected
Intentionally fixed
Graciously adorned
Lovely filled
...

With all the carefulness I could muscle
I went for the rose, the red beautiful rose
Ouch! The thorn struck,
The sharp spike-like thorn struck
...

Thrust into the continuum of time from in-between
The burden of life flung onto these shoulders
A sharp cry escapes the tender lips
As if to complain for such a heavy load
...

To the atheist, I say…..
Have you ever seen wind, yet it blows
Have you ever seen air, yet you breathe
Have ever seen heat, yet you crave for cooked food
...

The wind blows to and fro,
A sparrow sings from a nearby tree,
A radio plays a local gospel tune.
Responding to a car horn,
...

A dark cloud passes across the sky
Casting a shadow on the farmer
Filled with dust as he tills
Lightining cracks and all goes quiet
...

'I hear the words of love,
I gaze upon the blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice, and I have peace with God.
...

To look to see to behold
To touch to feel to hold
To smile to laugh to grin
...
