Alone I sat in humble plight. Bleak!
The brimming mess of a murky world
heavy like Olumo wreathed on my neck
My eyes amid torrid tears and roving
then I asked:
what is it about?
About helpless bemoaning children
scampering about in want of sourless milk
About pregnant children heavy with quasioko
what is it about, again I ask, what is it about?
About death lurking around in the corners
like some victious vulture
about mothers daily drowned in the ocean of tears
what is it about?
about fathers bargaining the life of their children in selfish rootless rights
blinded by greed and deafened by ploy
About the seemingly uncertain future
looming and bleak.
In a word… poignant. I gotta ask though, what are you doing to alleviate the pain?
I felt this.
