ZION SONG
By Oji Chisom Emmanuel
Like the wind we are
Look how we have come far
Filling every void
And yesterday we didn’t avoid
Diligently we nursed our scar
We wondered if we could make it
Thinking if we were unfit
On bent knee, we called on God
To become strong like a rod
That we shouldn’t quit
Just one word gave us strength
As we progressed through life’s length
Only if we knew how it would be
We would have loved honey like a bee
We wouldn’t have despaired and relent
We counted our loses, it became blessings
All of our suffering, became lessons
Our fears turned into faith
Our spirit longed for the pearly gate
Till we were covered with beautiful dressings
Never forget you days of humble beginning
Those were days of our winning
Our sun has risen, may it not set
Come together let us have a banquet
Round about love’s dinning
We were weak now we are strong
To a bleak future, let’s sing a song
Dancing to tunes of sweet victory
Telling tales of our history
Living in victory all life long

Nice poem. Really Zion’s song… song of victory.
It’s not clear what you implied by “We would have loved honey like a bee.” I think I get it though… but it’s kinda vague.
“We wouldn’t have despaired and [relent]” That should be [relented], grammatically speaking and I kinda doubt that poetic license justifies the way you wrote it, I guess it’s all for the rhyme.
Well done, @chisom
bees keep working for honey all their lives, and that do you know that honey is the only natural food that is made without destroying any kind of life. so it’s more of a food for thought- realization.
yeah! i went over the ‘relent’ over and over. but since it touched my spirit continously i decided to live it like that, maybe for the rhyme too. merci, adios.
Inspiring indeed. Nice try @Chisom
thanks.
Simple and pregnant with wit
Wit… that essential soul of poetry
@Chisom: well done and that expose on the bee was very good.Nice!
NEVER FORGET TO CROSS THE i’s and dot the t’s, great poem though keep writing.
Good poem. The description/addendum at the end is unnecessary.
