Almost Poem by Mishack Mchunu

He is almost alive
He exists in hades
Doing what he doesn't know
Saying what he doesn't understand
He is almost seen nor heard,

Blind to his eyes,
Lame to his fame,
Patent his talent to darkness
He is almost a star,
Yet he only remains with an eternal scar!

I saw him singing,
Declaring a Lamb to a Lion
Yet in a snare of the devil,
He almost made it to heaven.
Lo! He dances for his song in the lake of fire.

He was almost alive; for he lived in his body
And died in his spirit, He is completely dead!
