Indestructible: Spoken Word
Like a play on a stage,
life presents itself to us.
And like the audience,
we sit and watch.
It is not rare to be amused at
the turn of events — most times they go
separate ways from what we have imagined.
We sit and watch as Evil,
dressed in her regalia parades herself on the streets;
subtly presenting herself as a ray of hope—
deceiving the simple. Collaborating with
Wickedness, she spreads falsehood in every corner; in every street as her subordinates — the deceived — go about doing her bidding.
We sit and watch as Truth lies in chains behind bars wondering if anyone knows him
or if anyone else is aware that he is there—
for he has been blackmailed by Deceit who impersonates him. Then slowly
the followers of the Truth arise to expose deceit; screaming
at the top of their lungs, they raise an alarm — an alarm loud enough to be heard by the deaf.
But Evil has cast a spell upon the deceived, they will defend her till they hit their graves.
As we sit and watch, there’s an uproar of emotions as many take sides with Evil
and few
with the Truth. We watch the few get tortured, threatened and are forced to recant. The ones who can’t
stand go over to the other side; the ones who stand are thoroughly disgraced, robbed
of their rights and some, even killed. Evil builds a strong force— an alliance with all forms of iniquity
and in conjunction with the deceived, they chant songs of victory. But their joy will be cut short because
Truth is indestructible;
he will triumph! And when he does, we will rise and give an
applause.
