“There Is No God” Part 2: A Poem By Radio Host Adelle Onyango

The day before yesterday, I told you of how radio presenter Adelle Onyango had written a poem entitled “There Is No God.” Here is the follow up to that poem, aptly named “There is no God part 2.”

THERE IS NO GOD PART 2

Draped in a black cloak

With an oversized hood that greeted my forehead continuously.

A brown sisal rope exposed my waist and held the cloak in place.

It had pleats that ran continuously from my breasts to my toes.

My heels were a canvas

On which a collage of cracks placed themselves.

They had greeted many grounds

They had lost all feeling to a rough past,

So much so, I shuffled across the gravel with ease.

The sun disappeared as ten pillars stood ahead of me

Holding up a canopy of laws and lies.

Fear was killed by curiosity and I continued to walk.

Suddenly,

The scent of deception assaulted my senses.

My eyes bled bright red tears of truth.

And then I heard the whispers creeping out from two large gold doors before me.

They walked up to my ears and spoke a frustrated language.

They said there was wrong,

There was right

There were consequences

There was light

There was pain

And in this confusing dance, there were people.

But no one to blame.

There is no God,

They made him that day.
