Analysis of Colourful Tears in Cold Chambers
-wombs that refuse to produce fruits
-like empty barns of corn in the harvest seasons
-work that refuse to yield gains and a turnovers
-with appearance so beautiful and deceptive
-yet are they not barren?
-like revers that refuse to flow
-with the fishes of the seasons
-life that abhores a turning around
-barreness stares at their footsteps
-a man or woman jilted at the peak of love
-are they not victims of colourful tears?
-all these makes life to lie fallow without sunlight
-alone they moan and alone they struggle to dare
-but if they pray to God that rules all natures care
-then, sunddenly the cracks will open
-to vomit the pains of delay, fears and soul torture
-then, the man is free...all from a victim
-then, the woman is free...all from hopeless
-unto a new life, victorty songs sings
-unto a new life, dreams fulfilments fulfilled
-though not on a platter of golden mass
-but on hard roll of the bidding rocks
