The Silence Of God! Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi

The sky is just smiling
Making mockery of me
Heaven is so remote
That my prayers can't reach

Sorrow qualified being blissful
At the flashpoint of my predicament
Which gave birth
To the death of my hopes

Never lost my voices praying
But it seems just words for the wind
The sky is the limit of my voices
Hearing no response from the owner of heaven

I just barked but no bite
Since I can't redirect the wind
I surrendered I calmed I prayed again
Look up for a stimulus to gladness
Fruitless! yes fruitless
It all result

Is God for all or to some?
Is sin too deep for blood to penetrate
Many questions for none to answer

The haves thought me nuisance and rag
As god promises at home settles with them
While others traveled abroad
My works and struggles
Can't give birth to an atom of triumph
All gone with sweat

Rag they said I am
But I know I am not
The truth for sure I know is this,
THE SILENCE OF GOD
Makes foolishness of me
