The Lady By The Road Side Poem by kemurl fofanah

The Lady By The Road Side



I met her sitting by the road side
With her feet swaying loosely over the sewage
She seemed perplexed
She seemed wounded
Yet no sign of a scar rents her skin
Just this fat stomach pushing out
Dragging her senses out of her mind
Just this colourful huge round eyes
Bleeding blood and ice
Just this brutal smile with a disturbed motion
Yelling the sign of a troubled soul
Her world is ending,
Her world is ending
Choirs in her mind seemed to be singing
She sobbed with her head buried beneath her shoulders
I watched this angel beaten by life
Her mother is gone,
Her father is gone
Her whole family is gone
They were hurried into the sky
By a brutal chariots in the guise of ebola
I watch this angel
watches her batten Joy bundled away in chains
She raised her head and stare afar
Whilst this blood and ice digging her ckeeks
Echoes of her misfortunes slapped her memories
She recounts her moments with that ruthless spirits
Stealing her chastity, in broad day light
Whilst the masses feast on her voice for help
She recounts her parents struggles for life
Body heating up,
Skins scratching
Foods rebelling
And blood pumping out
She watches powerlessly as they die without a final hug
She sit on this sewage edge
She couldn't smell the stench
Oozing from it mouth
Nor could she feel the rats racing on her skin
She couldn't feel the child kicking her inside
The system had banished her opportunities
She couldn't go to school
Her world is ending,
Her world is ending
I stand motionless with rivers of tears flooding my heart
As i watched this Angel
By the road side tellings the story of thousand girl's lives
