(August 24,1976 / Monrovia, Liberia)

What do you think this poem is about?

heartache

My heart aches for all I’ve seen
& my many spectres pummel me.
My thoughts keep sorrowing me,
they keep asking these questions.

my emotions sore for all I’ve felt.
I often weep, weep days & nights.
Fear & anger dwindle my bones,
my room become their sepulchre.
