Paradigm Shift On Behalf Of My Mother by macquis(m): 8:49am On Dec 26, 2014 |
She was weak and fragile, that I could tell Living behind bars like one in a cell A cell! Yes the cell I subjected her to, the cell of my needs and well-being from which she could make no personal progress I was stoic to the misery of her being while stridding the high planes of self Living loud Lost in the rythms of peer pressure and fit- in-ism Conjuring fierce winds on the sea of her sail with my melody of delinquency "Udochukwu Che'te' Nne'-gi" She cried out to my hearing, her stricken voice laddened with grief and sorrow wrapped its warm-hands around my cold-soul My life was the speaker to her ears My character her favorite music selection What was I to do to ease her pain ? To live the high life no more I reduced my soul's volume so as not to further damage her already excessively beaten ear drums. |
