INCENSE OF DIVINE OMENS (a poem by Akor Agada)

Read Time:53 Second
We are this chosen generation
clashing embryonic cymbals of regeneration
from the roof top of our imaginations
to hardened regions of realization
surviving cycles of depression

There are times hope turns into rain drops
in the quiet corner of our tongues
Pacifying the thirsty desert 
that often surrounds our existence
with rivers bursting forth from our bowels

Pushing us all to prophesy as prophets
stirring the bitter water of this frustrated planet
with words that can create
enduring legacies of lit smiles
Beaming in the language of a new dawn

Let incense of divine omens
continue to inspire new narratives
And let the wind of liberation
ever live to whisper our names
pay tributes to our miracle of rebirth
