Living On Your Behalf Poem by Masika Wafula

Living On Your Behalf

Rating: 5.0


Worthless life
Limited oxygen yet the basic
Blame it on the stinging stench
From the burst sewer lines
Snaking through our shanties
A life worthless to live

Hopeless and existing
Gasping for life
A cry of the worms
Confirms my emptiness
To cool them down
I risk my life
Tomorrow not a guarantee
For I don`t live my life
I live for you worms
