EVERY THERE

Everywhere you go, the Will of God is there,
Whether you take cognisance of it or not,
It doesn’t care, it is always there, now, everywhere.
We used to know this once. We simply forgot.
It is every here and every there. And ever near.

No thought escapes its jurisdiction
No word and no action
Not even the finest intuitive perception
Will runs its course without Divine retribution
Every seed will come to fruition.

Che Chidi Chukwumerije
Poems from the inner river

START

If you decide, and start
To do nothing
Your gods will help you to
To nothing.

If you decide, and start
To do something
Your gods will help you to
Do something.

Onye kwe
Chi ya e kwe!
*

Nature will strengthen the fruits
Of the seeds you sow and grow.

– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
