LIFE IS A MOOR
My heart is slowly vibrating in tears
looking and staring at life
They lied to me it is amazing
Maybe it is, in surprising its employees
They say you are a white Moor
like the clothes of a zebra
You are no near God
because you always change
I bewail on God's choice to make you a chameleon
You go around telling lies,
lowering the lips of kids
Keeping mothers on their knees at dawn
Telling fathers it is not punitive if they cheat
You bathe me with smiles today
and make it seem as though they were the end of the world
But you do all these
because the pain you have for me tomorrow is unbearable
Today is bright
Tomorrow is ebon
What kind of god are you?
Are you not tired of answering questions?
You leave homes staring at their ceilings
Wondering what the future holds
Are you a joy giver or joy taker?
Let us know now
so we give to you what you desire.
