Case Closed

Case closed I was locked in my closet Thinking deeply with so much fear Eyes pregnant with a load of tears In between the four walls, I sob But my mind insists, saying Peace be still If God is involved, then Case closed! Arise, my mind commands How long is too long, How far is too far? Not more than the distance between my knees and the ground If I could kneel to muster some prayers, then Case closed! Enemies far more than the friends Even the friends, which one could be trusted? Some are envious of our success Some spitting out phlegm but harbouring bloody plans How have we ever wronged them? Should we go poor so as not to be envied? Or appear to be a dullard so as to level up with them? Are we to roll in our beds till 12pm, to be lazy just like they do all days? We are what we are by his mercy If he could be merciful on us? Then, case closed! Every day we live seeing none as a rival They thought we are out for a competition They try to buy whatever we wear Eat whatever they see us eat Aren't we all unique in our makings ? We can do same things in a different ways Pitiable they r running after our shadow We fly like the birds in the sky, flying without collision, the sky is enough But even if they attempted to get rid of us We will fight praying to our God With that, we surely believe Case closed Case closed Files burnt We are settled in his grace, our success can't be traced Let the whole world continually be amazed Of how limitless we enjoy thy grace! Hearts in peace, with your love and strength We believe ...........our cases are settled, Oh, yes! Case closed. Faniyi James is a writer, a poet and a career trainer. Mr Legend. #caseclosed!
