Things Fall Apart

Shattered life like rain clouds broken Thunder rolls loud, the lion has spoken Crisp cold air of oncoming storm Feeling like an adult in a child’s form My world comes crashing down Echoes in the cave, deafening sound Splinters flying everywhere Groan in anguish, gross pain, a tear One place to go, one shelter seek Where I won’t feel that I am weak In the arms of the Redeemer There I will be sheltered forever

The old Chinua Achebe line ... met him once, when he was released from jail. Never heard from him again. Quite a revolutionary guy, he is Biafran, you know. This poem is exactly as he would think.
