The Symbol* Poem by Williamsji Maveli

The Symbol*



Born in the old testament,
as Saint Joseph,
who nurtured the
son of God,
the carpenter,
His old symbol was
merely a
wooden cross

born in the new testament,
as son of human
who is the
head of the family,
College teacher,
His new symbol was
only a broken fist
