What's is the right punishment?
What's the right punishment?
For;
A crime that defies punishment,
A pain inflicted on God himself.
A crime too ominous -
for words to convey
Yet the offender dwells in Christ,
A crime done to motherhood,
Her dignity fading -
with each 'whoosh' of the belt.
Her voice drowned;
By the 'gbim gbam' of blows.
Helplessly ;
She resigned to date
Neither the ray
nor the flicker of Grace
Could save her,
Fear dominated her will
Like the prey
Waiting and yet praying
To avoid destiny.
And the hunter
Intent on living this fate
to the core.
Dedicated to
Late oshinachi
Nwachukwu
