The Princess And Mother Poem by kemurl fofanah

The Princess And Mother



Tears dripping down my chicks like rain
My mouth dumb and swell with sounds of sorrowful strain
My whole body shiver as if caught by 1000 watt current
My soul burns in and out of me, killing my strength
Questions keep hunting me like prey
She was too young to die why lord why she?
She was too innocent to die?
Oh lord why, why this helpless cry
Not a single candle had light for her to blow out
Not even an aimless infant smile she had give out
She only saw the world in her mother's womb
Now she had pass off this world straight into the tomb
Her mother was a strong beautiful woman
She had no disease but yet they heartless refuse to lend their arm
Oh God why this brutality renting our nation
In our hospitals again they let two beautiful souls helplessly drown into extinction
Oh God, not a single costume wrapped their carcass
Like disowned dog they were buried in body bags
Oh no, I write no more
For these story burns my heart core
They were not unfortunate
Surely death is every human fate
