Poem: Gilgal (Rolling Away) by Okee Igboegbunam



Gilgal
Rolling Away

As in Gilgal, G-d
Will roll away
Our reproach today

As atop Golgotha, Jesus 
Has stopp'd man's captivity
And ended his depravity

Thunder on happy inheritance
Fortune Forlorn
Hope deemed by Sin inherited

Mine eyes have seen
The compass of HIS voyage
And I know that t'is age

-even decades to come
Has been foreshadow'd
By the foreskins of the Ancestors

Roll away
Stay far away
Lonesome day

Come forth, Lord Jesus
King of Ages thus
Stay love a cause

Of Joy over Melancholy!

About Me

ERETZ is a man on the sunny-side of life, in search of greater perhaps. Born of an ancient Hebrew race known as Igbo (Africans call them BIAFRANS) his DNA shows as much "Y" Kohenite Chromosomes as that of the Israeli Jews. Somewhat a polymath, ERETZ is an interdisciplinary, multi-skilled expert who uses cross-sectional experiences for service delivery. He's a Motivational Speaker with a loving capacity to help and improve people’s social-expansion experience. He's always joyful in his Christ-conscious predilection for change that is both pedestal and pivotal -that results inexorably from and within the inebriated propensity of "ASK," delved from Matt 7:7 to mean: A = Ask; S = Seek; K = Knock. DOWN-TO-EARTH: He was born a twin in a fairly large and loving African family. Eretz is a single-minded individual with good sense of humor (it will not be immodest to call him a chattered libertine). He is simple yet principled. A 'trilingual poet:' Music is his past time. "Music is primarily emotional and not an intellectual appeal." So all the genres (the vaudevillian music hall) appeals; from soft melodic to the rowdy melodramatic with the exaggerated pomp and pageantry.
