Our Road Map.

The cemetery contains the dead,

But one day they will rise again.

Death is the beginning of forever,

There will be no ending then.

 

I can't ponder on death.

We were given a road map,

And if we follow it, death is

Not the end, but the beginning.

 

God has always been

And will be forever

Our guiding light

That banishes the darkness.

 

The saints knew this in their heart

And avoided the pitfalls before them.

We may not be all saints, it's true ,

But the road map to heaven is the same for all.

 

Love of God and neighbor,

Can at times be dismissed.

Our pride is the biggest road block,

To where etenity will be spent.

I hope I spend my eternity in the good place, not the bad,
As I have truly tried to be good since I was a little lad...e

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
