Cry Nay Poem by David N. Munene

Cry nay, cry nay
For whence you cry,
Your lachrymose wells will try to dry

Try yay; try yay
For whence you try
Not to cry; you look fly

Fly nay; fly nay
For whence you fly
When you land you'll look gray

Gray yay; gray yay
For whence it's gray
The sky will cry

Cry nay; cry yay
For whence you cry
You like a donkey bray

Bray yay; bray nay
For whence you bray
Yo' humanity give away

Away yay; away yay
For whence away
No one will cry
