We need wisdom And a vision, A light shining Deep in the darkness, A candlelight burning far away That will lead Us with love, Not hatred, Back on track To our source Of power and strength. Engelhardt Tjimbinae Ngatjikare is a devout Christian who pens inspirational poems intended to motivate others to rise above their challenges like an eagle soaring high above dark clouds. In a debut collection, Ngatjikare reflects on the mercies and grace of our Lord, the tests of friendship through the fire and flames, an awakening of self-awareness, the gift of finding ourselves in our greatness, the lie of love, the beauty of a phenomenal woman, the marks and wounds left on a poet’s heart, and much more. Now We Enslave Ourselves is a volume of inspirational poems that explore one man’s journey through life and unshakeable faith in God as he learns lessons and embraces his divine purpose.
