Forgive Me Father Poem by Benjuzzy Okpuzor

I hide it in void,
And vanity, but to you
I knee to today, my
Heart craves, and is

Crammed with vile, and
Vanity'filled with
Fetish, and failure, my
Tongue I can't tame,

But with obscene,
Jesting, my thoughts I
Have taught with sin,
And errors, and my own

Hands ever clever to
Cunning schemes, my
Steps to your house
Of worship I'm not

Worth, and worthy, a
Devilish evil rules
My day to day thought
While I bread'and bed

With bad men, I follow
The god of gold, but
Forgot the rules that
It's the root of all

Evil, my whole being is
Blind, and filled with
Worldly fantasies, I
Heard the sermon, but

The good deeds I
Ignore, and men of good
I planned to gnaw, I
Claimed the morgue in

Immoral-es but actually
The mogole, the rebellion
Of babel doomed Babylon
Till date, but will I

Face the same fate? in my
Front I'm lazy to remove
The laid evil, even when
Delivered, and batisized

With his blood I still
Crave for the things I
Left behind, my
Conscience is Soured,

And my inner man
Whispers a disdainful
Sin, now i bend my
Knees, and begg for

Forgiveness, thereafter
Back to my behinds, I
Saw the saviour like
Jerusalem but spite on

Him, and say I don't
Care, I'm now a slave
To sin, as I stay at
The whip, and whim of

Its desire, I have
Begged, and lied, but
father this time you
Know it's true

I stay sad for all
This evil still
Salvation is all I
Seek, but can't steel

It, the prophets have
Prophesied when every
Scriptures, in the
Script of the scribes

Shall come true, but
Non I gave ears, I'm
So sick that no doctor
Can cure, but the only

Medicine I know is his
Blood, so give ears to
My supplications as I
Suffer for my wrongs,

Wash me clean from sin,
And release me from it
Slavery, take me to the
Paradise place where

Every art are of holy
Activities, batisize me
Back with the holy
Springs of life, and

Send your holy spirit
Back to me, then I shall
Embrace your bosom, like
The lost son to his lord
