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.
