Nerves of Steel…

March 23, 2016May 22, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha28 Comments

Our nerves are stretched and frayed
And yes, we champ at our bits by it all
At the spate of hateful and violent attacks
Rocking the World to minutes of silence
…and viral hashtags

How can we condone this?
How can we continue like this?
What kind of horrible lives these people must live.
To harbour souls so embittered?
…and nerves made of steel.

Complete sensitivity is lost to other peoples’ lives
There are hardly words to explain such horror
And the damage that hate can do
As yet again, we are shocked from lulled senses
…and all I ask is when? When will it come to an end?

Ounces Of Silver…

March 22, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha26 Comments

Was it worth the Price?

30 pieces of silver!….

To betray the man you called Master

The one who loved you

And whom you claimed to love!

I dare say not!

Is it worth the price?

The pain of her pleading wail

The shredded heart and rend pieces

That could never be put together again

You betrayed for a few pieces of notes

I dare say not!

Is it worth the price

To walk in the path of light

To look up above and see Christ

As he guides us aright

Leading gently, if we choose to follow

I dare say yes!

Dragging Feet…Ronovan Writes Weekly Poetry Haiku

March 22, 2016March 22, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha36 Comments

Mama, are you saying that

I really have to take a shower

Before I get to play?

The pair of words: ‘Shower and Play’ Ronovan gave us for this week brought a smile to my face.

It reminds me of certain conversation that goes on in my household between me and my youngest.

With sweet wide eyes looking at me full of expectations that he will get a pass.

A Writer’s World…

March 20, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha17 Comments

A Writer’s mind

Is a junk yard

A filigree lace of windows

For flights of fancy.

A convergence of different World’s

Where we create hero’s and villains

Real and surreal.

Weaving intricate webs of words

and evocative imagery’s

That transports the mind,

Through apertures, down rabbit and keyholes

Through the wide expanse of French windows,

Into the boggling meadows of other minds.

Our progeny…

March 10, 2016March 10, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha28 Comments

As a matter of urgency,
It’s up to us to teach our progeny
The value of empathy.
It’s up to us to leave a legacy
That will help mold their destiny
To create good sense of well-being and identity
In an environment filled with harmony
We teach our children fair sense of equity
For them to stand as upright entities
Living in Truth, Love, Honour, Faith, Hope and Integrity.

The Daily Post prompt legacy.
