a poem-white dove

by AdeDremi AdeGbite

White dove the symbol of peace
Up above the sky you fly
North and south you pace the sky.

White dove the prophet of peace
Here I am I need your peace
Before my people fall to pieces.

White dove please pace my path.
And bring to me your perfect peace
Before my people fall apart.

White dove apostle of peace
Here we are we need your peace
Fly our path the Black folks space.

White dove spread your peace
On every beings on this earth space
To leave as one but not in pieces!

a poem-the tomb of jesus in india

(This poem was inspired after the poet visited the tomb of a Jesus in Kashmir, India)

by

Onyeka Nwelue

Yes, I have seen it...
But that is Jesus, not Jesus Christ

Yes, I have seen the faked footprints
But that is human made, not natural

Yes, I have seen everything
But these are things made by man

Yes, the Jesus lived and died in Kashmir
But that is the Jesus, not Christ

Yes, they claim he is the Nazarene
But that is the Indian

Yes, they said he escaped to India
But Jesus Christ was buried in Jerusalem

Yes, they say he practised Hinduism
But that is the Jesus, not Christ

Yes, they say he was a Buddhist
But that is Jesus, not the son of Virgin Mary

Yes, they say he was born in a cave
But my Jesus seems to be born in a manger

Yes, they say he was of the Aryan race
But that is Jesus, not the Messiah

Yes, they say anything about him
But not my Own Jesus Christ, their Jesus who lived in India he is
