Rupture! Poem by Munashe Rupazo

Rupture!



Is it not the fate foretold, that where likely to head
Yesterday when we were warned and foretold?
Had it not been right if we did as were told
Yesterday knee-fold at their toes as they told?
Was it not that fate we were told, that we might head?
Had we listened, had we, we would not have cried!

Was it us then that paid for, not paying attention to words spoken
Speaking right whence we were destined?
Was it not us who heard while listening?
Was it not Judas that betrayed and Peter that denied?
Was it not then that time we knew
We knew just right what was told?
Was it not?

Perhaps we disobeyed before obeying.
Consequently the burden lies upon each responsible.
