What Part Did I Play? Poem by Adedolapo Olisa

What Part Did I Play?



The vegetation will fall
either burn or be swallowed
The humans will fall
either fly up or cast down
The world would be silent
either like in a graveyard or like in an ocean
Life will be absent
either in spirit or in body
Strife will be present
either for the unsaved or the worldly

All will grind to a hault
to unravel the hidden mysteries
Like with a vault
only the father knows this time.

Everything will intersect
Prophecies will converge
The trend of everyday, which seemed so simple
will open up like an egg's shell
to reveal the invinscible truth we could not see nor tell

Then knowledge/ understanding will lie on the streets
the behind-the-scene, we were blind to
will finally give birth to the anticipated movie
A movie we all have been part of.
my question however is ' what part did I play? '
