macaulay akinbami - Man’s Ism

A violent throng of nameless creatures
Endless breath, unheard desires
Weary mortals seeking homes
From troubled vanities of earth’s wealth.
Countless hearts, seekers of all kinds
From all religions of man’s invention.

From idolatry traditionalism,
Cultures of hoods and voods
To Christianity, Islam, Maoism
Judaism, Shintoism, Eckanker
Atheism, Moralism
And nameless ism of unequal translations,
All in throng seeking truth of the isms here and more
One and only one knows the truth
He lives in hearts of humble seekers.
He lives.
