Witnesses Poems - Poems about Witnesses

We the soil are witnesses to their turmoil

Trapped within the soil
Told stories filled with turmoil 
Carrying the weight of black history 
But it honours their memory 
By always remembering 
By never forgetting 

Soaked by the tears of the enslaved 
Waiting, hoping, praying to be saved
The ground an unknowing witness 
To them being worked to death
But in awe of their perseverance 

Throughout the

We are witnesses to the final act of a mad and incendiary project

We are witnesses to the final act of a mad and incendiary project,
an experiment of a world bound by invisible and shining wires,
the reckless belief that we can always be connected, always alight,
that electric power, like a river of light, can flow unceasingly
for eight billion souls dreaming under the same dark sky.
I imagine how each

Invert the Hierarchy

About 600 BC sailors went down the East African shore
A Pharoah had sent them, afraid of an oncoming war
They rounded the coast at the African horn
Astonished at what they saw that morn.
The sun arced in the north, it just couldn’t be
The earth was flat in those days, everyone did agree.

When they reached home, the crowds

WITNESSES

The bed will testify
of what you did on it.
The wall’s silent ears.
Foreclosed window eyes.
Onomatopoeia from door’s
Half opening mouth, 
The night you switched off the light
Drew all blinds but darkness stood there
as a witness, watching you and your sins.

Witnesses to an Assault

There were six witnesses when the police arrived
The detectives took their statements
Six ethnicities were mentioned.
How many perps?
One

Two said he had a long face; one said she had a round moon face.
Eye colors mentioned were blue, black, green, brown and amber.
One said he saw a dragon tattoo; no one else saw it.

The detectives looked at each

In the silence of night, when stars become silent witnesses to our unspoken desires

In the silence of night, when stars become silent witnesses to our unspoken desires,
I imagine how my fingers would intertwine with yours, like roots seeking the depths of the earth,
And how my palms would caress the contours of your face, drawing maps of love on your silken skin.
I'd want to whisper poems to you, words

The Two Witnesses

God spoke to men in visions and dreams.
Their words are like unpolluted streams,
offering dying souls life-giving drink,
and giving hope to those on the brink.

These witnesses, both the old and the new,
were written down by a selected few,
who were infused with the divine mind,
as they shared thoughts of a unique kind.

They have been spurned by the

Jesus Messiah

I
Since Martin Luther
It's rather simple
Only One Savior
Not Mother, Angel,
W. Branham or Joanna Southcott!
Sins antidote: Jesus's Blood

II
Born in 1750, Southcott
At 64 claimed pregnancy
With Messiah "Shiloh"
This "Panacea" christianity
Led to her death: delusion
Even claiming 144,000 only
Was the number to be saved
From Earth? Heresy is recycled, sadly!
But not plastic & polluting rubbish
Especially in my South Africa

NOTE: since Luther, a

Stronger With Jws - With Jesus I Pray

I
At this stage
My retirement age
I speak with JWs
Jehovah's Witnesses
I shut my door
quickly before
Now, I'm emptier - stronger -
I converse with JWs longer

II
Fine people, careful about blood
Who avoid transfusions, "blood" food -
For JWs, smoking is wrong
Alcohol - choice -  may tag along ...
No hell, rapture, predestination
The big one: anti-Trinitarian
"Theocratic War Strategy," allows JWs to lie

We Are Surrounded By a Cloud of Heavenly Witnesses

OH! We are truly surrounded by a cloud of heavenly witness. 
Looking over the portals of heaven down upon us. 'Cause we
All are the specially redeemed earthly saints of our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is all because we accepted His free gift of everlasting life!

OH! Aren't we surrounded by a cloud of heavenly angelic witness?

Three Reliable Witnesses

There were three reliable eye witnesses to the robbery.
I was the first detective on the scene; 
did not even have time to put on my overcoat.
One said the perpetrator was young, blonde, five nine, thin.
Another said he was dark-skinned, thirty-five-ish, stocky, with green eyes.
A third said he was not sure if the perp was a
