A Tempest Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

A Tempest



A chief cornerstone is what you are looking for,
But the stone that the builders rejected has become the head!
So abstain from your fleshly lust and do what is right.

Of your chaste conduct,
Having eyes full of adultery;
But like the clouds driven away by the tempest,
Try to gloom out of the darkness!

These are wells without water,
Like the words written down by the Holy Prophets and Apostles;
But, the stone you are looking for is now the head.
