A Poem From A Bleeding Heart by paraklesis(m): 9:46pm On Jun 28, 2018 |
FROM HERE TO WHERE? Plateau became our altar of sacrifice Human spirit offered to the unknown god We became strangers in an abode Where we once dwelled in peace The cry of rest in peace We now sing like the nightingale's melody On the lips of the gravid women And tongues of our zealous men Our priceless life is now a ransom For the love of our cattles Where shall we go from here? The fertile lands that once flow with milk and honey Now irrigated by the blood of our kinsmen The capital of poverty resides in our huts Our unborn children have no hope But prayers to keep them safe in utero The worth of living is now in the dip Falling skies won't affect just a person Now a nation has been engulfed In a tussle of power And death tolls is now a statistic To compare on paper Where shall we go from here? Tired of this hope meal, we shall not This land shall not bleed to death Yet another hope to feed on And this might be the last As the next breath is not guaranteed Living in the fear of life No assurance of the future Because there's none to feature Peace, we long for Life, we want to live But where shall we go from here?
