Exodus (The Journey Of A Restless And Fearless Soul) Poem by Uche Nwanze

I am a itinerant on an odyssey
I am emissary on a mission
I have been sent here to fulfill a purpose
I know not where boisterous winds will compass me to
I know not where the raging storms will projectile me
As I pilgrim the rough paths of life
I wear my courage like the Mexican hat
I adorn myself with the belt of fortitude
Though I face daunting lairs
And landmines buried in the rubbles of humanity, I fear not
As I scavenge the debris of self discovery,
I pray thee illuminate my soul with rays of hope
Someday may my good deed be rewarded
And when these journey be ended
I'll go marching on with the Celestial choir
