Deep In The Heart Poem by Olorode Olorunleke

Walking head bent across the street
Ruminating what life could have been.
Whether of lost or or gain,
Deep in the heart.

The sojourn of life so confusing
That it can't rely on itself anymore.
Cos a bright thing in a minute
Is turned blank in another minute.
Deep in the heart.

We all rejoice in the new birth
Yet some even in the blood
Determine the future of the lad while innocent.
Deep in the heart.

Women in birth cried so hard
And in later years Abaddon him to the hand of not smiling face.
For the fear of death and the goodies of life.
That this is made a living corpse.
Deep in the heart.

What could be said of a life full of wonders
That our people have made to wander
Like the Israelites journey in the wilderness?
Even a good encounter is made the best of enemies
Deep in the heart.

Now she comes with the heart of care.
After all has been done and life truncated
No, when education has gone to its pick.
Asokobomoyemo omoyetirin irorowoja ati Oju apakole joju ara
Deep in the heart.

My heart sings the song of Lamentations
For the things that is yet to unravel.
Sorry Lord, I still believe in your supper natural power
Of healing and deliverance like the man at the beautiful gate.
Come to my rescue for all is deep in the heart.
