Redemption Poem by Comrade Senemede Abel Opeyemi

Poem by: Comrade Senemed Abel Opeyemi


I, the savior, delivered you from despair, Offered my very life, in devotion rare.

Truly, my lord, My mortal flesh oftentimes prevailed, In solitude, I stumbled, faltered and failed.
Truly, my lord, I strayed, seeking solace in your divine grace,
Yet, survival pushed me, as I fled your embrace.
Unable to extol your name, I resorted to deceit,
A falsehood to protect, my soul's bitter defeat.

I wrote my existence, beyond the Lord's realm,
In blood's ink, a bitter tale to overwhelm.
I traversed your path, time and time again,
While your words echoed, never in vain.
'Father, forgive them, ' you uttered with compassion,
For they know not their deeds, in their ignorant fashion.
