This Too Will End

A glass of water,
A morsel of bread,
A handful of maize.

Eat these,
Be sustained,
Faint not,
stumble not:
This journey is far.

You are a hunger veteran
A legend in patience,
Know therefore,
This will end too,
Soon, very soon.

~Emeka Chike Nwogu~September2005.

Your write says so much ... about patience - perseverence pays ... but at the same time its about the oppressed - always being promised the golden paved road. Will it ever end though? Poignant write, Emeka!

God bless,

Sandie.

This is tragic in a world of riches. Where is humanity? Everyday we are reminded of our lack of it, most recently in my own country. "The dead bones will rise up and bear witness". Powerful write, Emeka...Lin
