TEARS OF THE UNSEEN
A mixed reaction
To what action
A satisfaction
Worth to auction
The story never told
The pain never known
Yet we sit, lay down
Lie to ourselves
Our journey is complete
All is perfect
But is it?
A closer look
A Sharp stare
From the eye that
Tells little but
Narrates a bunch
Now i ask
Where did we go wrong?
Education is key,
More or less,
That’s what they say,
Bills after bills
Amendments after amendments
To cater for the hopeless…
But is there any hope left ?
The can, yes that can
Grasped hard, on one hand
Half way full
Flavored juice? I guess
And the thin voice, i heard
“My only food,”
Yes, “glue, my only food”
Everyone pass by them
All day long
And the sad voice
” nibaiye lunch sister”
” nibaiye lunch bro”
And the only reward
For such a beautiful soul,
Not a word or a just mere stare
” don’t touch me” on every passerby face
Sad though…
