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.
