Ashes of Shames

it effectively conveys the horrors of violence and the enduring impact on individuals and communities.

                               Some mob of angry youths

                  gather and gather

                  armed with club sticks;

                  thrown stones;

                  like Stephen a matyr

                  Strapped naked;

                  covered a little

                  naked i come

                  naked i go

                 Fierce faces

                 a rubber around my neck

                 like a chain of shame

                 set ablaze;

                 lightened by fire

                 bit by bit

                 I burn

                Body unrecognizable

                Crowd reducing;

                lynched by my blood

                Until i am ashes

                ashes to ashes

               Leaving my innocent mother;

               who comes touching my ashes

               would i be remembered?

               Oh ashes of shame
