God

Cyril Ike Momah 1964 (Lagos)

Ode
WHY LOOK BEYOUND ME?
BECAUSE I CAN'T BE AN END UNTO MYSELF?
TO GIVE LIFE A MEANING?
BECAUSE THE CONCEPT SEEMS TO WORK?
BECAUSE I FEEL INSECURE?
TO PLEASE YOU?
BECAUSE I AM IMMORTAL?
I'M I A MERE BLIND UNINTELIGENT CHANCE?
BECAUSE I AM INFINITE IN FACULTY?
BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW THE SECERETS OF THE UNIVERSE?
AS AN ANSWER TO ALL QUESTIONS?
DO I REALY NEED A REASON?
MAYBE ! JUST MAYBE!!
