Agony Of An African Child
Someone come and call the superior to an end,
we are in a world where we no longer care to be our brothers keeper,
I,Me,Mine and Myself
Is the dew that pulls
My cloth when my feet
Rush to secure my mouth’s
Daily meal.
Is the wick that burns
In my candle at night
And will never walk away
Until I shove it aside.
