Diary Of A Loner: Book Of Life Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

May 2050

As I stood in the air floating like bubbles
Breaking the law of gravity amazed me.
The great book was opened to my very eyes,
And humans filed up according to conscience.
My eyes searched all their faces but none looked
The black and the white were together
Men and women queued same angle muted.
I wanted to scream but the angel beside
Warned me to keep calm and watch to tell.
The book like glass glittered and glowed,
I was unable to see what was written within.
Names were called and marked like the
The Register in the primary school I remembered.
The goats were separated from the sheep,
Whites were not given upperhand than the blacks.
Deeds were the gold and silver of judgement.
The sound I heard behind the hollow pit
Terrified the man in me but I persevere to see
the end according to what the angel behind said.
I stood there dumbfolded until June came.
