why cry


Why cry the beloved country?

When what is done is done

Why cry after a bee sting?

When it is all over

Why?

Why cry after an emotional pain ?

When your heart nolonger bleeds.

Don't cry the beloved country!

Dream big for the beloved country.

Your heart shall be bandaged by drapes of satin.

And as for the bee sting

Rub it with honey and milk.

Don't cry for those tears.

I will rub them off your face.

Why cry instead of laughing?

Why cry instead of frowning?

Why express the echo of hurt?

It is through that which you do not have

That you may laugh anf drown.

Laughter you are thou art loosed.
