Tear Tells A Tale Poem by Bharati Nayak

Tear Tells A Tale

Rating: 4.9


Tear from the land of Nigeria
Tells a story of pain
A story of being chained
Chained in her body and soul
Soul of a beautiful girl
Girl of such tender age
Being separated
From her loving family
And kept away in some dungeon


Tear tells a story
How she wishes to be freed
And get back to the warm hugs
Of her parents and siblings
Keeping the fire of hope kindling
Tear awaits some angels
Awaits for the day
When they will be coming
Keeping the fire of hope kindling
She wishes the story
To have a happy ending.

Every teardrop that is shed and the ones that remain buried inside has a story to tell... You captured the tragedy of a little girl trapped in a dungeon very aptly without taking a melodramatic vein or going preachy either... I respect this poem Bharti.. This is one of the best poems of yours that I have read... Wonderful work.. Thank you for sharing..

Thank you Sir, poet Sri Kumarmani Mahakul for your kind appreciation of this poem.It is real story of innumerable girls who get lost or abducted , being separated from parents and family, their lives become unending torture in the dark dungeon.Society's big people and law makers know this, but close their eyes.
