May, 2022



O! she didn't steal or burgle any property
O! she wasn't armed in all sincerity
Social media Communication
Love and cherished for information
Thus hated, cocooned by  misinformation
Yours turned out sour
In the zone of scorching sun
The protectors suddenly become mute as they jostled for political positions
And life moved on, perhaps, nothing happened
Bewildered in this cruelty
Power home lies the cruelty
She's someone's daughter
Leader of tomorrow, life cut short
Voiceless life on flame
Who's to blame? Earth be blamed
Funny!  Pew also run the throne
Cold and speechless, your blood flow
The match box and the chant,you journey away
The pain, the tears as you plead for help
Help that disappeared because of faith
O! she didn't steal or burgle any property
O! she wasn't armed in all sincerity
Tears drop as the earth recalls May, 2022
She's in her prime, perhaps she's 22
Now resting on in the world beyond.
