Living In Harmony Poem by Major Elazia

Living In Harmony



Someone somewhere would have begun by saying they have walked through the valley of the shadow of a conflict. But not me, it is a time to take a step back and reflect yet again. To look at the discourse of disunity and the propagation of dislike. To critique myself in the face of adversity and to know where as a human I err. I should not justify my indignity nor blame anyone for a misunderstanding.


I have learnt the easy way is the hardest way. When you take a wide berth from the common sayings of the old men you hang on the eagle of the spread of blindness, I realized the disillusion in this, the folly of my anger, the ignominy of this is vanity. I have realized how hard it is to develop faith, but day by day my faith in the Bible thickens more than my visitation to any church a service. You are a temple of God, the church is a gathering of men. Today I give thanks to God for letting me uphold the sacrilege of wisdom.


Let the stone pellets hauled at me not be
poison of good grace. In meekness I remove the boulders that I hurt my feet on the road so that comfort be part of your journey, it is what I never had as a traveler. I may not be that much of a saint, neither do I have the humble cream to anoint myself as one, nor the ultimate standard to qualify as one, but my pursuit of life let me have a little meaning in another human with the limitation that I can never the source of comfort.



Being some imperfect being, a creature of God, an earthly sinner, I realize by the measure of humanity I have no liberty to transgress on honor, I have a duty to maintain and sustain everyone's respectability. I must bow down to the hawker, stand up for a child and hold high the esteem of a beggar. Let me not hurry my will, let my heart dictate the pace by each heartbeat.
