Have You Ever

Have you ever watched a heavy stomach

being ripped apart for its foetus

Have you ever hid in a piggery

To evade marauders at noon

Have you ever looked murder in the face

Attempting  to scare it away

 

Have you ever been left in doubt

As to who your parents really are

 

Have you trusted people
only for them to bring you down

 

Have you ever given your all and all

And yet you get ridiculed

 

Have you ever been insulted

    And made to feel half your size

                  Have you had someone you truly loved

                                                                            Lead you astray

Have you ever been left out in the cold

Writhing in pain to die

 

 

 

Have you ever led an honest struggle

And ended up in trouble

 

Have you ever stood your ground

Only for it to be taken off your feet

 

Have you been left to cry alone
Expecting death any moment

 

Have you….

Avatar of writefightABOUT ME. I was born in Lagos Island but stayed the most of my life in Kaduna. From an early age i devoured plenty of books, along the line the books shaped my thoughts then i began to write. Writing answered the questions that science and technology didn’t cater for…for me, writing is an exploration of the human mind and the wonders of the universe. To write, for me, is to attain Nirvana.

  1. Many times I have experienced the pain in some of the lines–don’t we all do? Well done.

  2. @writefight: I really don’t have answers to these questions… Aren’t they supposed to provoke thoughts? Well, they just did for me. Thumbs up!

  3. Nope!
    I have never!
    Well done.

  4. Havent we all? Thought provoking, Deppressing, Thanks for this.

  5. Message delivered, in a cliched way though but thought-provoking still and I suppose that is the intent of the creator.

    Nice!
