Painful Exodus!

Painful Exodus!

A Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi
"

About a road accident that claimed the life of every person on board; church women returning from a burial of a husband to one of them.

"
The wind whirls, the earth whines in slough of despair.
And the sky's smiles has been dethroned,
Fogs and gloomy cloud rulling!
The sun, the moon, the stars -all shrouded in this darkness..
Heaven losts her cheerfulness, the world her repose.
.
A plenitude of grief overwhelmes the kingdom.
Tears out of home trundle in sheer boredom.
Every mug shut its gate against beam and animation.
And the market square takes on a forlon garment.
Though it seems like heaven will soon cry
But the trees know the solemnities is beyond the expection of rain-
They join in the motionless sulleness.
.
Oh, in our bleak hope; the futility of mourning,
We plea' thee whose bosom is every soul's craving at rest-
Relieve the thorns in every bereaveds' heart,
And let heaven to affirm the quest of the departed souls.

I'm Glad that you like this.
A sad story told in the poetry.
"Oh, in our bleaky hope; the futility of mourning,
We plea' thee whose bosom is every soul's craving at rest-
Relieve the thorns in every bereaveds' heart,
And let heaven to affirm the quest souls. "
Life teaches us sadness, we cannot understand. Thank you for sharing the powerful words and thoughts on a sad topic.
