The Body Of Water Poem by Adeniran Joseph

THE BODY OF WATER

Something
      Is
         Behind
                The
           Voice
                      Of
                  Water
                             That
               Never
                            Gives
              Us
                      Credit
             To
                 our
Broken
                    homes
And
          Families

      Only
    If
            Heaven
                   
Welcomes
                     The
Lives
                     Of
           Boys
Who
          Tore
     Their
               Skins
    At
         The
                  Cementary
          Of
               Their
   Father's
                   Memories
Then
           We
Can
          Say
                   Water
Is
        Another
                          Name
For
         Survival.
