They Knew Not! Poem by CHIGOZIE DANGOL

Like Moses at the burning bush!
When freedom he proclaimed before them!
They knew him not!
They knew not, that was their time!

Like Jesus to the Jews!
When salvation he offered them!
They killed him!
They knew not, that was their time!

To everything, there is a time and a season!
From slavery to freedom!
From bondage to salvation
If only they knew, that was their time!

They knew not the time!
So it passed them bye!
They could not discern!
So they are in disarray!

If only they knew as time tickled away!
