John Chizoba Vincent Poet Blank verse

The Last Hope of Mankind

Beasts of Europe, Beasts of Asia,
Beasts of Africa, Beasts of America,
Beasts of all the land and the heavens;
Hear the beating of my great drums
I shall speak only once before I die.



Sooner or later, we shall all rejoice,
Government of mankind shall be overthrown
By the government of the most high
And we shall all rejoice and dance.


Fear shall go into exile,
Hunger shall be a thing of the past,
Tearts of joy shall be seen in our eyes
When death shall be chained for million years
Because the messiah has come to rule.



Our creed shall be accepted,
We shall see our beloved ones again,
Now, with a white garment of Glory
And we make song our praise of Art.


Bright and enterprising shall Africa be,
Purer and greater shall America be,
Europe, Asia, and others shall be holier
When the trumpet shall sound from Africa.



Let all the Beasts hold my words,
Let them keep watch and pray always,
The coming of our lord is nearer
And he shall emerge from Africa this time.



He is the last hope of mankind,
Though we may die before he comes,
Though we may die at his call but
We shall all resurrect with hope to be with him.
