Our sphere though laden with many souls, but not many 'souls'
Many clans, many groups, many races, yet many hates
Discrimination, prejudices, stereotypes, greed and bigotry forms at least many hates
Our faces gloom, many faces dried, yet many hearts filled with hates
Help is far, piety is missing, bliss is wanting, we've sent meekness packing
We are proving our worth by monuments of mammon and by violent contest, for we've sent meekness packing
Enough has been transformed to scarcity, safety to war; for greed came knocking, so we sent meekness packing
We are considering our unique identity above our humanity, less or no empathy; for we've sent meekness packing
Though we strive and fight, though we battle for supremacy
Alas! as it is written in the books of Yeshua, only a kind of humanity shall reign upon the earth
The meek, yes the meek: they shall inherit the gains of this sphere
Yes! they shall reign in the lands, hence, we could choose their path
Bolaji Olaniba (2022)
