To Mr President by Kiddogarcia(m): 10:48am On Oct 12, 2022 |
Mr president. Dear my president,I know I took me a while get here It took the last resolve to result to this So I say salam-alaykum, even though I might not get your "wa-alayum-salam," in return Dear Mr president, I know my name doesn't ring a bell Or the story behind my existence is for close few to tell I know you've seen and heard of better poet But won't it be wise for you to sit down a give me a listening ear. Dear president I'm the man who has lost it all The son of the father who doesn't believe no more The father of the Child who's so familiar with ways to suffer I'm the brother of the siblings who threw hope to the gutter I'm the neighbour of the woman who lost a child I'm the comforter of the beggar who cries at night I'm the tribesman of the family who's suffering from hunger plight I'm an indigene of the land where people shoot on sight Dear mr president I come from a land recently clouded by bloodshed Where the pangs of fear loudly resides Where no one can really predict what next Where the chains of injustices boastfully presides. I come from a land where people are exploited and misused Where humans are oppressed,beaten and abused I come from a place where they have a tongue but can no longer speak Because the last time they did they were killed with no remorse. Dear mr president I come from a empty land filled with many people Where darkness governs in a space that should be filled with light Where everything and nothing has refused to work Where misery, pains, anguish roams in front of us. Dear Mr president I came from a land where you promised to protect me Where you promise to give me a hand on days I lagged behind Where you sold me your ideas and got my hope re-ignite Where for once I thought our bleak days will be a history forgone. Dear Mr president It's been seven years since you promised to treat me well I don't want to say you failed, maybe you forgets all You said My fear is that you may think this letter came too late to be worked on But,can you do kindly passed this to your next successor 2 Likes |
