Failed Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

Failed



Listen to the words,
he refuse to say
And wipe the tears,
she refused to shed
He the cries he refuse to cry
Father, don't let her die
See enough, the fear
she wouldn't express.
Feel also the pains
He refuses to feel
Even though he knows
He is sinking and dying
Read her mind and her lips
Those thoughts, the words
Never to be expressed
Never to be said
Do not just assume
It's a change or transformation
He may be dying
She may be dying
Not enough to be a daddy
Are you a father?
Not enough to be a mommy
Are you a mother?

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu, The Devil himself
