The Power Of Tears Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The Power Of Tears

Rating: 3.5


Under rated
Crying is tucked away
Among the undesirable involuntary human acts
Pasted together with WEAKNESS among men
Scorned at with impunity by our macho wilding society
Tears are a source of embarrassment to a plenty of men
Nowadays, even ladies find crying as undesirable and unsexy
Puncturing the power of tears into a marshmallow soup of weakness
An undesirable human habit belonging to the rubbish bins

The power of tears is found deep in our mortal hearts
Where sorrow is an ever-emerging threat
Pursuing the human spirit in search of vengeance
Tears have the power to dilute hopelessness
Recycling hopelessness into hope
Overpowering the power of sorrow
Overcoming the sense of hopelessness
Tears washes our hearts
Drowning our sadness

The power of tears is hidden with the confines of our human emotions
Secretly deployed as the first line defense against sorrow
Ten times more powerful than a human hug
Tears are the ultimate defense against hopelessness
Paving way for time to heal our hearts
Tears are an agent of peace within our soul
Refreshing our spirit
Hugging our soul
Tears are powerful

tears are powerful. perhaps not for the viewers but for the person who can shed a tear. I see it not as weakness but a weapon that can heal and find hope to sorrow. I do feel sad for people who cannot cry. very nicely written
