ALAPADUPE <br />…he that kills with the expectation of a vote of thanks… <br /> <br />“Hello Mama. I’m excited – It’s a boy” <br />Shouts of joy on the mobile. <br />A new kid is born. <br />Who made it to be so? <br />I AM did. <br /> <br />“Hello Honey. Guess what – I’ve just been promoted” <br />Uttering of gladness on the cell phone. <br />The family head has just been promoted. <br />Who did it? <br />I AM did. <br /> <br />“Hello Aunty. You can’t believe this – the shop got burnt…” <br />Tones of dejection on the telephone. <br />An investment is seemingly crumbling. <br />Who caused it? I AM? <br />No! But I AM allowed it. <br /> <br />“Hello Sir. I’m sorry. We tried our best to save him, but…” <br />Declaration of sorrow on the cellular. <br />The creator had received back a creature. <br />Who killed the creature? I AM? <br />No! but I AM permitted it. <br /> <br />Btu this few things I know: <br />“Before I formed thee ion thy mother’s womb, I knew thee…” <br />“My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are My ways your ways…” <br />“My thoughts towards you are thoughts of good and not of evil to give you a future and a hope…” <br />“All things work together for good for them that love Me and are called according to My purpose…” <br /> <br />And above all; <br />“In every situation, give thanks…” <br />Says the unquestionable. <br /> <br />For He – the I AM – is the Only Wise One and He remains UNQUESTIONABLE. <br /> <br />October 19,2007.<br /><br />Ola Joseph Kolawole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alapadupe-he-that-kills-with-the-expectation-of-a-vote-of-thanks/
