Song Of Sorrow Poem by kaunda kapungwe

Song Of Sorrow



am like a body without a heart
am like a head without a brain
am like a stream without water
am like a hanging mountain
am like a house without a foundation
am like a computer without a hard-disk
am like a shoe with a sole
am like a bird without wings
am like a human without a creator
am like a Shepherd without flocks
am like a ship without a captain
am like a song without vocals of which no one can sing
am like food without salt of which no one can taste
am like a mechanic without tools
am like a driver without a car
am like a forest without trees
am like a christian without faith
am like a house built in a desert
am like a butcher without meat to sell
am like a serial killer whose afraid of people
am like a party without music
am like a house without a roof
am like a game without players
this is all because you left without saying good
if i could bribe God, i could have done so
now all these are just wishes,
the only consolation i have is my tears from eyes
my life now is now ascetic, i feel like i have nothing to live for
because you never left me with any child
so let me cry til i get dehydrated and die
