By Fr. Limukani Ndlovu
In this world of violence and wars
Are insane creatures and those who’ve gone hollow
Who labour tirelessly for the dethronement of God,
Defiant, arrogant and guilty of clamouring for equality with God
They incite violence and trigger blood shed
Entwined with self-absorption and self-obsession
In the fallen nature they’ve crookedly bent
The mind bound to be skewed
Banana-curved in on themselves
In the tattered rags of mortality and yet claim immortality
Unrelenting in their quest for revenge
Their zeal for retaliation retards their growth
Nothing but objects of distaste and disgust
Symbols of shame and arrogance
Proud of race, face, place and party
Destroying other civilizations in the name of civilization
Looting, plundering, squandering and exploiting
Obsessed in the mighty is right idol and corruption
They can’t think outside the box of clansmanship, rhetoric and indoctrination
Lest the voice of reason and conscience jabs them
Whisper that the greatest power is not in terror but prayer and fear of the Lord
That the ability to generate and regenerate is not in regression, digression and degeneration Let’s all unite and end the algebra of violence
One thought on “The Algebra of violence”
