FEAR

My heart and emotions are captured by fear.

My soul is being threatened

The people I thought were my own

Has grassed me because of the covetousness of power

I see my people every day being slaughtered like sheep’s

Their tears being wasted like rain

But not even this can’t stop this abhorrence

The beautiful country I was born in

Has turned into the pits of hell

The riches that once existed

Has been cobbled up by the whites

Leaving this beautiful place like a dry bone

Seeing my father being beaten up to death

While I stood to eye witness this disgraceful scene

My mother being raped before my very eye

Me being dragged away like a dog on a leash

How all these images have stayed in my system and spirit for so long

Now all men are debris to me

They took away the people I loved

Leaving me alone in this world
