How To Become Fireflies

How To Become Fireflies For a man to live  He must first be born. For a man to be called He must first speak in tongues. For a man to believe  He must first see not hear. For the lost of a mother Leaves a child in a state of eternal grief. For a man to pen writes He must first learn to lie. For gods do not laugh or smile When humans offer their head as sacrifice. For a man to learn the ways of the ancestors  He must first learn to die. For the living have no business with the dead Whose fate is neither known nor stated. *** For a man to be a firefly He must first learn to give up his life. How? He must learn to fly without wings. For to be a firefly is to be; The soft voice liberating stranded souls in Aba. *[ Prologue, Cleanse The Home ]* _As Written By:_ *Godwin Henry Osaigbovo Pa Shakespeare et Obosa Brait* SPEARE POETRY
