Right from childhood, I’ve had my
share of life experiences
Growing up on the street of 'No Love
to Give'
Raised in the house of 'Scarcity is
the Norm', even love!
Educated within the walls of 'Life
is Impossible'
Just to become an adult with a
belief system
That no miracle is bound to happen
in my cell 7
My requisite mind wouldn’t stick to
all these
For it kept burning with a series of
question
That begs to be answered
Perhaps the greatest gift life has
ever gifted me
For it caused me to step out of my
borders and find answers
As I take a walk in the street of 'What and Why'
To satisfy the curiosity that has
grown deep within
I got to know of a mysterious being
Who has been doing the impossible I
grew up knowing
Within the walls of life
Of how He is able to create a
return path for the lost
Even brought restoration to them in Desolate Avenue
Caused the heart of those in 'Crying Close' to flood with joy
Yes, I heard about all of these but
to me, they were mysteries
For nothing special ever featured
within those timelines for me
Cos my night to morning for years
seems to be the same
But I kept hearing a series of
unbelievable testimonies
Of how the light at the end of the
tunnel obeyed Him
And was caused to move in, just to
guide the steps of His chosen ones
Testimony of how a life was given
in ransom, for all humanity
In ecstasy do I wonder, as I try to
wrap my head around it
For it’s a motion that opposes my learnings from 'The House of Scarcity'
That no one can love you enough to
die for you
'Your burdens you shall carry and
your wages you shall bear'
But here, they speak of a man who
paid it all
And asked for nothing in return
But to acknowledge His great
sacrifice with love
Towards Him and the men around me
In my opinion, He must have come
from a very strange land
For this city I grew up in, has no love
in them
Not to their fellow Countrymen let
alone a stranger
The more I get to know of Him, the
more amazed I am
And the more I still desire to know, for it caused a stir in me
The type that makes my heart to
flutter
Like the sighting of a distanced loved on
So, I’ve promised not to stop, till there’s an outburst within me
The more I've got to know of Him, the deeper the mystery of His person
And guess what, I'm in awe!
