make it go away

make it go away

A Poem by Amy Craig Beasley

It is morning
and the sky is empty
and the streets are full of beggars
and their cries for food
...because there is no rain

it is morning
and the sun is yellow
and the rivers run red and black
and they carry grief on their backs
...because grief is theirs to be carried

it is morning
and I am weeping STOP
and I am sending this message to  STOP
you
And you will fall STOP
on this planet like an ocean
STOP
one drop
STOP
just one
STOP
at a time
STOP
please stop
here
end the mourning
...in the morning
STOP

because
it is morning
and the sky
is empty
and the people are crying out
because they have no food
