USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: The Day Of Pentecost (Poem)

Indeed Chidi, just as you said,

Here's another one, acting like his soul is on fire & sin-cerely speaking in tongues

The day draws near.

The whiff delights us,

We are tickled.

We wait,

We

Who will receive rare baptism,

We wait.

The day draws near,

The day

Of Pentecost draws near.

 

The day

The light of courage

Will descend upon us.

The day

Our taciturn tongues

Will fire cannons

Of just rebellion.

 

The day draws nearer,

The day

Of Pentecost draws nearer.

 

The day is here.

Amadioha arrives

Astride the sacred ram.

We relish

The rituals of rare baptism,

We are set to strike.
