Poem
He is sworn in holding a branch Cut from the tree of life and a vine That's sacred he swears to protect His people the tree and the vine He swears by the sacred abode Shortly afterwards he gets the vision Go to Nineveh Jonah and warn them He departs not to nineveh but to Taasis Aboard the ship they have no option But to throw him overboard into the sea In the belly of that big fish choking on seaweed Three days seem like three thousand years plus This is too much he's now praying earnestly My Lord i will accept your will i will go and warn The fish spews him in the great city of wonders and signs This time round they spit on him pour dirty water on him Hurl insults at him beat him up yet he says repent.. repent His message over he then moves to the edge of the city In the deep of the night Khat the sacred tree grows over him And the African orchids encircle the roots - the base of the tree Roy rubs his eyes inspecting the fruits from the tree -tree of life Three days from today this city will be destroyed.... Thinks Roy he will tend to this tree together with his descendants In the midday sun a ground worm ate the root stalk of the tee It then ate the root of the vine... both tree and vine dried up And a SOUND says... Roy i have forgiven this city i will let it live Roy is astounded but the SOUND rebukes him.. Roy you are willing to protect a vine and a tree Yet you care not for this great city go home.. Roy departed and went back to his home The sign of the prophet Jonah will portend the coming of age... Roy remembers during the ceremony he had chewed the leaves And the visions were no more than Khat visions he's still perplexed Roy goes back home and starts reading the sacred scripture CODE 254 Lewis Nyaga Thoome wairegi Kings counsel
