I'm on the other side

Sorry Shylocks,
You are a bit late
I can't meet up with your date
I'm on the other side
Hovering above the hillside
Pound my flesh and take your pounds
Enlarge my cold, naked, fresh wounds,
Extract your penny from my blood,
Let it flow like a flood
Chop off my limbs and make up your debts
But know that the spirit watches with a devastating strain
Free but bruised by an earthly stain
Conscious of acts attracting divine frown
Waiting for the time your fruit is fully grown
Poised to weed you off His infested garden.

Powerful words, Oluseyi! You’ve captured the raw struggle of resilience in the face of injustice so vividly. There’s a strength in knowing that even when life tries to cut us down, the spirit remains free, watching and waiting for justice. Your poem is haunting yet empowering, like a call to rise above what tries to break us. Thank you for sharing this depth—keep speaking truth with your pen! #StrengthInWords #NircleFamily 10 days ago
