Led By A Gentle Hand by Slu Chilongo

By -


Over the seas of
temptation, -
Past the many wildernesses of
confusion –
Under the clouds of
despair,
through thick mists of
jealousy,
By the fields of
hatred.
Above winds of
fear,
Beside tides of
betrayal,
Across gorges of
deceit,
There is no
Worry, sorrow, anxiety,
For I am led
Lovingly, closely, truly
By my Father’s hand.

Am the child you obliterated, mercilessly annihilated, callously incinerated am the soul whose life you separated that child whose death you celebrated. A product of your reckless behaviour Juvenile delinquency, miss know it all. I am that sad soul u destroyed the abortion pill you employed. I am that being you erased, that life that can never be replaced. Dear mother am that child on your conscience. Your secret yes!, but your daily torment. Like a stain, my memory will ever be your daily pain. I am your mental anguish, disposed of me like rubbish you selfish being. I...
