Kennedy Muitherero Poet Rhyme

Is a Man

Is a man free or numb
Oblivious or ignorant or dumb
When unmoved by events surrounding 
As conspicuous, persistent and resounding 
As the crumbling becomes 
That he still sings psalms

Is a man’s aim to mock
Is his peace demeaning or a shock
To those who see him as out of touch
Not feeling at all if not as much 
The scathing scalding shared plight
That has put down the mightiest’s might

Is a man so hollow 
That he shares not the world’s sorrow
Does he offend by his peace and happiness 
Is he teasing at the world’s emptiness 
Is he unwilling to help feel
And will he will as much will as others will to will

Is a man absolutely one with the many 
Without the exception of any
That he must surrender his judgment 
And strive to endure the torment 
Of a burning calling brazing his bones
And his praise to almost be shouted by stones

Isn’t a man God’s own creation 
For His purpose, will and timely intention
One to plant and another to reap
One to send and another to keep
All different members but of one body 
Duty bound and call ready

K. Muitherero
