A poem describing the effects of religious oppression and its imminent danger.
I woke up with some melancholic feelings this morning
I pushed through some unorganized thought and let go
Looking haphazardly around, irritated in my mind
Everything that I see seemed to be against me
With many trailing my back and monitoring ahead
Oh my God, I cried out for a hand from above
At a corner, I sat deserted to a handful of friends
They sit like strangers afraid of their host
And mindful of all eyes that takes a peep
They converse and stop at the sound of a footstep
Oh my God, I shouted, confused in my heart of hearts
A destitute in his own father’s house
Many questions without answers drive me wild
I tried the Celestial knob that brought us together
I held on steadfastly to the truth of the ages
Many tongues wagged and many legs shuffled
If men were God, the air will inhabit their homes
Don’t smile; we are sitting on a cocked pistol
