Atheist At A Bus Stop Poem by Makhosonke Dhlamini

Atheist At A Bus Stop

Rating: 5.0


A young man look at his hand and cogitate
a woman said, why your hand?
Young men replied it is Art.

What is your name? Woman asked.
Poet Philosopher, He said.
Once again a young man in death silent look at his
Hand after a while whispered softly, this is GOD art.

The bus stopped, in he went to Soweto Jabulani.
Woman in the bus stop, started to look at her hand and ponder for a while
thoughts flood her beautiful mind, she then took a small elegant mirror
In her potable Gucci hand bag.

The mirror painted her wonderful face, tears shine out of her brown eyes
she then wipe her tears and her conscience said to her soul it is true
GOD is in existence and infallible.

A dimensional writing, it's creative and a good vision on it...We can see the nature force alone cant make this incredible art in our body and heart...how can people explain the chemical reaction with feelings, if we cant what chemical we need to kill the pain...to make people be more humanity for this age...why nature make it happen, the answer is no...not by nature because we are the art and our Creator is artist with no challenge, it pour physique and soul..nice write buddy! _Unwritten Soul
