Strain Poem by Edward Kofi Louis
Strain
Pain! !
Strain,
In chain;
Travelling with the train,
As a prisoner of war.
Rain!
But, with no gain;
Because you have no grain,
But in chain! !
With the vain acts of mankind on earth.
Your brain!
Without any help from Cain your friend;
On this issue,
A prisoner of war in chain.
Drain, stain!
With the blood marks on your cloth;
Facing the hardships of life,
As a prisoner of war.
