No Age In The Sound Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

There are sounds of sonorous voices
Like that of the cascading, Mosi Oa Tunya waters
Voices of the young; even of the yet born
Voices of the aged
Voices so beautiful
Like ageless sounds!

Prophetic sounds unheard of before
Like loud cries of praise to Him who sits on the Eternal throne
Crying out against the incessant slaughter of the unborn
In unison, voicing strong disdain of the evils of humanism
Echoing the thundering voices of praise from above
Ageless sounds, emanating from the holy Book!

Sounds of supreme inspiration divine
Renewing supernatural faith in our brokenness
With tears of joy as we stand by the crimson red river of our conviction
No age in the sounds of our voices
For our grief and praises merge in His presence
Ageless sounds of His mercy and love!
