Poem :where We Came From - Poem Of Betrayal By Government by Nobody: 9:44pm On Jun 27, 2018 |
The rain has beaten the cow in her eyes. A cock has laid an egg. An egg has broken a palm kernel. This is the story of where i came from, We are assaulted at evenings, when we lay our heads to rest Our homes, farmlands, business places Are burned to ashes, Seeing the flares of fire going up Makes hot tears spill out of our cheeks Under the dim cleaned evenings We assembled there Under open skies unowned Hurrying to a position of no goal On the land for our ancestors one shot abandons us dead the blood we bled left the land of our ancestors red We are left cool, alone, and broken On our course of running for equity Taking a look at the Young ones, the innocent tears they shed They can't trust this is the land from which they originated from We are the casualty of innate and religious mercilessness, presently we are burnt out on been the casualties detest We are assaulted of our pride oh goodness, for goodness' sake, we look to heavens to satisfy its prophecy and set us free we became invisible, because we are being ignored The government announcement guaranteed us free freedom, presently we are sick of being the casualty of disgrace They're tossing us in a class with an awful name We can't trust this is the land from which we originated from In any case, this we can't deny it, this is the place we originated from.Click here to read more |
