Ujamaa Christian Poetry

DAWN AWAITS


Discussions falter, tempers fly
Battles and wars increase
Where men, women and children die
Devoid of inner peace


Evil flourishes everywhere
So few yet understand
Why nought and no one seems to care
Why pestilence floods the land


Fools may wonder about the fuss
Failing The Truth to see
That only grace reveals it's us!
Unwilling to be free


To leave, no more to look behind
All bridges break and burn
To give the past no further mind
And never to return


Cast aside things foul and rotten
What flesh and bones degrade
To reach for that, by most forgotten
For that which cannot fade


To drink from life's eternal streams
To eat as few before
To leave behind all selfish dreams
And enter evermore


Beyond this realm of salty tears
Of bitterness and pain
Till selfishness disappears
And shadows cease to reign


Then Heaven's Light will surely rise
God's Truth will kiss the dawn
Lost souls will open wide their eyes
And truly be reborn
