Joy Wellington Poet Lyric

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

L'Nass Shango November 19, 2010 at 5:58 AM 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.
