Crying Onion
Nairobi Kenya
The sun is still
The day drags on
Each moment its counting
Each moment multiplies
The children are crying
Helpless in their mother’s breast
Praying just alittle drop
But nothing!
Totally nothing is coming out
Within their wounded heart
There is pain and suffering
Yes its evident
For the unhappy look they give
Looking at a picture of a man
A man carrying a father’s name
But just with no fatherly love
With a dark and evil heart
Not to take care of them and mommy.
They pray for night to come
And day not to dray anymore
For better dreams than reality
Better the haunting dreams than the reality of life
That has became their own blood.
” pass life pass” they lamenr
With spirit held captive with their grief
And with a silent void of darkness
Wishing for something
Not to weep anymore
With tears that bring th solace
