Give Me A Sign Poem by Felix Onyango
Give Me A Sign
As I am seated down a tree
Feeling the wind passing with a breeze
I am a prisoner and not a man who is free
Surrounded with people who depend on me
Looking unto the sky and asking for deliverance
Feeling pain of denial,
Anger and revenge is all.
Wrongly accused of betrayal
Hunger and suffering are all that I am filled with in my heart
Starvation and pleating of my stomach-
For lack of food
Love and acceptance is all I am crying for.
Poverty is all I am left to count as my wealth
Begging and being chased away in return
Waiting for rain of luck to come
As I say a prayer with every single beat of my heart.
Diseases and clashes have wounded my soul
And working with no place to harvest in the end.
Under the same tree is where I embrace each dream that I am blessed with
The only thing that gives me hope is the feeling of unachievable dreams.

This poem contains some really strong emotive language and great imagery. I really like how this poem depicts the hardships of living in these kinds of conditions - I am guessing this is what life is like for you - because for someone like myself, who is lucky to have a life where she is able to obain a good education and have enough money to be clothed and have food on the table (and often takes this for granted) is able to see just what life could be like through someone elses eyes. It is one of those poems that can cause the reader to wake up and realise just how lucky they are. A great read. Keep up the great work.
