If The Gates Were Open Poem by Chikondi Daniel Dziko

I would cry
I would sing
I would laugh
I would scream
I would apologize any I Eva neglect
I would, in rage, confront any, my heart have hurt
I would love
I would hate
If the gates were opened

I would love to feel pain
I would love to feel pleasure
I would love to speak again
I would love to listen
I would love to fight
I would love peace of mind

Locked away far in the world
In a chest that illusion has hurled
I dream of what I would be
If the gates were opened. I 'd be free,
Pure, peerless, perfect like thee
But are you?
Pure perfect and free
If the gates were opened
What would you do?

If the gates were opened
I would be perfect and right
I would be what you want me to be
And not what you hate of me
But am only human
An imperfect perfect creation
Of HE that is perfect and never wrong

PS. I wish you would come this side beyond the gates,
