Tearing StreamsA Poem by Ricohard
I anger at every drop
It lands upon my furnace face To torment me, it always has It doesnt even fall with Grace In anger: pelting and damaging Tearing like a plough, moving objects left to right This has been our past We build, it slides, we build, it slides The elders call for a positive attitude To build again, start life again But no family, the slide, no friends, the slide And now no work, the slide! My tears flood down my face As the floodgates are smashed, down my village goes Down the slide I have no faith in rebuilding Escape Escape the cry is sounded The slide has taken everything, and now it can take me Brown skin mesh to Brown mud Streaming tears mesh with the Streams that create tears My cry is muffled By planks of hatred, mirrors of the past Crops of hard toil, cluginess of depression And streams of tears © 2008 RicohardReviews
