Judgement day
Thina Maxathi 1999 (Cape Town)
I close my eyes envisage ancient time.
I close my eyes envisage time when this Era had not arrived.
The only way to steer clear from it is by residing in fantasy.
Will i comprehensively escape this horrific time?
OH how I wish heavenly father held back this time.
Every man has a scar on top of that with a story to narrate.
Day in and day out blood flood the streets
Do we despise each other that much?
Do we have to leave a scar on every individual we dispute with?
Do we have to see a knife as a dispute solver?
Is being benign, forgive and forget a thing of the past.
Peace once resided on this earth!
Can not we head to the graveyard, exhume and bring it back.
Nothing is worthy of a second chance than peace.
Judgement day! Judgement day! demonstrate remorse.
Judgement day! Judgement day! where is mercy?
About this poem
Past time was better than this time, in terms of violence, how fast this life is, you talk with the person & the following day they pass away.
