Role Model
by
Iyan Igma
I once had a friend,
The ex-comrades will say,
That I once thought even
Satan he could slay.
He exemplified everything
That one should be/do.
Then, one day he changed
Right out of the blue.
You can see him there
Deceiving his mind.
Now in him the
Examples we find
By reversal. Maybe
God learns from his mistakes.
Maybe he’s the prototype
Of educating fakes
Whose sole existence is to
Show others what not to do.
I’m learning something,
Are you?
He’s more effective than exhibiting
Penalized drunk drivers at school;
For conversation he’s the ultimate
Recruiter, patch, and tool.
Only, it’s a shame no
One can save him
From where he drowns
In waves of sin’s phlegm.
In double conclusion they’d say,
“He once was much more;
Now he teaches by existence
And is empty to the core.”
Perfection
by
Iyan Igma
It is only called perfection
Because it humans cannot ha’e;
We’re too petty and immoral,
And e’en those of the church are lay.
For what else is a lay person
Than one of God’s inferiors?
Like Satan man sins and, therefore,
Must get to His posterior.
It is He and He alone who’s
This sinful world’s grand minister.
If all are equal before His eyes, then
What’s the holiness of being ordained?
Education makes one not better, and
E’en the priest will on that day be arraigned.
The beauty of perfection is
That it has natural order.
God will always reign supreme, for
Man seeks chaos and disorder.
It’s the simple discrimination
Employed to mark Man by the Almighty;
There’s a reason why we make mistakes,
Why we will always be termed flighty.
You No Be Existing
by
Iyan Igma
If I could go back in time,
None of you would exist.
We’d all disappear as dust
Under a crushing, mighty fist.
A continent of time I’d traverse,
Over the divide four thousand more years
To an Aden where His presence made
The mighty rivers weep joyous tears.
When the serpent is spotted entering,
The first murder would occur;
Not that of the future Abel
But of the musical Lucifer.
The fruit being untouched, innocence
Would still be Adam and Eve.
We the punishment would not
Have being. That’s what I believe.
