I loved her before I met her
She was older but it didn’t seem to matter
I yearned for her to love me
But it seems her love had gone on a journey
I loved her when I met her

At that point I was overwhelmed with feeling
Nothing more perfect, the ignorance of not knowing

In our world that is rife with strife
I publicly declare my refutations
carving out these declarations
for the extinguishing of said aberrations
I refuse to live in a land flowing with milk and honey
while a larger population grapple for food in the dust bin

by the colour of my skin before I open my mouth to speak

Until he met his untimely end.

With eyes swollen shut by blows
At a sight only a few get to see
Of bodies wasted in a heap like debris

To the depth of loneliness which was he
