THE NAME, JESUS

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I love Jesus
But I don't hate my father
One gave me life with a capital 'L'
And the other, life with a small 'l'
All of them letters of the same alphabet.

Without them I would be nought
Nothing, or perhaps just a half something
Like the star far up in the sky
They are the macrocosm, and I the microcosm
They decreased so that I could increase.
