THE HEALER

we searched rivers wide and oceans deep looking for her she was the one, the one who would take all the hurt and pain away do away with the hate and hurt aah and there she was, yes it was she - the healer she, who would take it all away - we had found her or better yet she had found us she was here to save our souls but noone wanted to look at her - let alone listen to what she had to say she stood on top of the mountain and shouted "we've been programmed, wake up'' we laughed, we were not ready for a saviour, we wanted to stay in our hurt and pain and hate 'hamba!' we shouted. you cannot be the one, the one we are waiting for is still coming you see, the hearts were still filled with so much hate that it was clouding the judgement but if we had taken time to look hard enough we would have discovered that it was she that we were waiting for, her words and her comfort. so with our ignorance and foolishness, she turned and walked away and we were to wait another hundred years for her to walk pass again - for she only appeared when days were dark to do what she was made to do, heal.......
