BELATED DEATH
Oh! death oh! Sweet death You are late. Where were you? I have been saving my breath. Patiently waiting for you . Make no stop over come deliver me. Make haste, Before it’s too late . I no longer wish to live Hurry so we can leave What is taking you so long? I am not as strong I can’t bear the pain no more Do not even knock. You are welcome Take me home, To that place. That promises no pain. Come before I die, Come, come in. Or do you despise me too? Even you do not desire to be close to me. I am an outcast. Am haunted by the past I accept the worst. This breath is my last. If you’re not here, I will come find you. Hope to be in time. To meet with him, That Supreme Being He who dwells in the heavens. It is he alone I will answer to.

FREEDOM WILL BE MINE

Darkness in light that is all I see. A shadow Hidden in between, Silence, a voice waiting to free. The air pregnant with intensity A breath of fresh air, Freedom free in the air. The eyes in my mind blinded Darkness, the only thing visible. Perhaps it’s the suppression Or even the oppression.

Freedom, to you we’re bound If not, then death be it No more shall we be slaves. ...

I BORROWED

All i did was borrow. Borrowed without the owners consent. The sun rose and has now set. I have not made a cent To feed my hungry child, To tend to my sick son. Lying unconsciously probably even dead. I have failed as a man and father. But I die, not for myself, but for that child struggling to breathe Even as you drain all your energy on me Ask yourself this; are you better than me? Then you will understand. That I die for others but myself. I can stomach having nothing, In my stomach for one week. But the pain would be too much. For my three year old son. huddled somewhere in the cold. The only thing on, his skinny frame. And now you beat up his only hope. All because I borrowed a packet of milk. To save my only lifeless child. My life is in your hands and so is my son's. I cry these tears not for the pain I feel. But I cry for that little child. Cuddled up in the cold Perhaps waiting for me with hope of something to eat. God look after him for me ...
