Prayer After Food

Prayer after Food …………By Peter Onyancha And – In your wisdom you covered it for sacred peace And there is a secret piece of the sacred peace! If only he could see mine transparent And I saw his transparent The truth could cut deep! There: A big bone lying across, like a dagger Roasted meat, coal deep beneath Dripping wine from the leaking roof Bubbling belching seeping upward Listen when he burps! Here: A green-house effect of shrubs Voluntary velvet of kales pushing the former layer Round pebbles of cold ugali, supporting the green jungle Water for soft landing, sprinkled with salt Tight valve to vet what must leave Insulting data! And my brother will see And I will see You see!
