At Kilimanjaro Poem by Tony Adah

In a city or town or village
On earth, in the world,
In the sky, I wish I was up somewhere
So that the world will be complete
Watching me from my kilimanjaro.
Where I will broadcast
Onto the earth the seeds of
Peace that keeps war at abeyance
Love that cuddles beyond bounds
Respect that plays like a bomerang
Order that is as still
As the moving earth
Integrity that edifices
Like the holy spirit
Modesty that cures immorality
Care that rehabilitates the orphan.

When I have all these
And cause the world
To be amendable to them
Then I will return down
Like Moses with the commandments
Build my house under the earth
Rest with my earmuffs
Whether the world acquesces
To these testaments or not.
