O Man Cry Poem by Arun Maji

if you have to cry, cry.
nothing is more healing than a cry.

seen the sky when pregnant with rain?
she is dark and gloomy,
sad and heavy then.
can't move at all, can't smile at all
can't live at all-
until it empties its aches and pain.

so is for human.
if you are dark and gloomy,
sad and heavy;
you must cry
and empty your pain.

tears is a sacred river.
it cleanses
all ache, pain and despair.

o man cry,
cry until you die.
