POEM OF THE WEEK

BY

EMEKA OBIANDU

The New Paul

When he has had much spirits to drink

A drink of water keeps him from the brink.

Holding on to the bottle of water for show

Passers-by know that water is a scarecrow.

How could something so harmless

Do such damage as to make Paul legless?

His slurring leaves no one in doubt

That Paul’s morning light is all but out.

Paul, bless him, he deserves heaven, if it be

That entry therein was down to none but me.

Because he lived as in hell while on earth

I would most gladly flip the coin at his death.

Though for Paul all hope seemed lost

Heaven has a place for even the worst.

While no one was looking, as a duty

Someone was filling the life that was empty

Praying and ministering to his daily need

Not minding even if Paul paid no heed.

For Paul, the letter to the Colossians

Was the same as that to the Ephesians.

One thing Paul desired to find out

Even when he was quite spaced out

How it was that the Paul who wrote

Was the same vile Saul who smote?

I don’t know which letter did the trick

But the process was far from quick.

When finally Paul gave up the booze

The noose around his neck came loose.

Now in the hostel for the homeless

The new Paul left many speechless.

Though the off license lost business

We thank God for His faithfulness.
