THE TEARS OF AN AFRICAN BY: GABLA GODWIN


     
Days bleeding with worries
Nights cursed with tears
        The power of money
              The death of joy,
Characterized by:
The demise of hope.
Amidst the struggle for
Survival
                                       
The tasteless tears of the widow
The protruded eyes of the orphan,
Owing to the barrels of tears that
          Rained from those balls.
Their rumbling bellies
Sing hunger


                                       
The joy of the rich man,
 Who swims in the
         Power of riches.
                                     
What drains the hope
 Of an African soul,
             Down the pits of
                                      self-destruction.!
                 
                                 
                                       
When shall we learn?
       Learn to help the needy?
The selfish rich man
Tell him, he's a poor rich man!
                             
                          Hmmmmmm....But Who hears?
                          The cry of an African!
