SHAPE POEM: A Mother's Tear


THE

SORROW

IN A MOTHER'S

TEAR, WHEN FROM

HER EYES RELEASED

BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF HER

PRECIOUS CHILD DUE TO WAR ON

THE STREETS. THE WEED SELLERS AND

PIMPS THAT DRAGGED HER CHILD AWAY

THEN TO HAVE THAT  SAME CHILD RETURNED TO

SAY GOODBYE AGAIN TO ON THEIR FUNERAL DAY

THIS TEAR A MOTHER NEVER WISHES TO SHED

TO HAVE TO BURY HER OWN,SO IF THAT

AREA IS GANG IN-FESTED WHAT 

THEY'LL REAP IS WHAT HAS

BEEN SOWED
