SLAVERY AND ETERNITY

Kidnapped and stolen from homeland
Their capture was brutal and inhuman
For a terrible voyage each was branded
Hot coals to the skin was much dreaded

Packed into hot and dark holds of slave ships
Everything were they given accompanied by whips
Surviving a loathsome and terrible voyage
Death was an only way out of bondage

Years have passed since slave trade ended
Still many live in fear and some in hatred
Some willfully go into worst slavery
Thinking not of freedom because they move freely

Unfortunately everyone is born a slave
But can choose to whom he/she is enslaved
Fearfully many go for evil
And become slaves to the devil

When oft with luxury they are blindfolded
Many forget life after they are dead
But unto God we are not slaves but sons
Wearing crowns as bright as the sun

On the day of that great morning
When in beauty it shall be dawning
Which gate unto you shall be open
That to peace or to an oven

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Let there be light At the sight of light Darkness takes its flight For when light arrives It brings beauty And radiates energy  This little light of mine I must let it shine Noon day or night It must shine bright Giving illumination to my world Alice Asuquo

Dreams

Myriad of thoughts Running through your mind A dream of a beautiful and colourful future An irony of the present bleak and black situation Is it feasible or attainable? You ponder and wonder Just because you can't see something Doesn't mean it isn't there Keep your dreams alive!!  ~Alice Asuquo  

Fire + Ice

Fire+Ice Some are hot like fire;  Sweltering, tangy, hot and spicy Some are cold as ice; Numbing, frosty, cool and chilly Everyone can't be the same Howbeit, with tolerance and understanding We'll stay together in peace and love ~Alice Asuquo
