The orphanA Poem by Victory H. IzevbekhaiMoonlight is up The stars are smiling But he's up, never sleeping He's mind is caked up Filled, uneasy He ups from the bed Goes to the corner Crouches and mops "Where is she? Where's my mother? Where's the woman who left me under That cold tunnel?" He sobs, he mutters Down his spine goes a cold shudder. "Now where's the clown, Where's the man Who thinks raping girls is all he gets? I swear, the earth This very same ground Will open its mouth And eat him, yes!" Deep in tears He rages on He's heated up But he falls a-moping Illegitimate, he's unaccepted Cursed and scorned For a crime he never committed. Who asks to be born? Who asks to come forth From a raped mum And then left abandoned? Left to survive against all odds. "Oh blessed moon, Keep me company. Though am fallen I'm arising Out of these ashes Like a Phoenix. It's a rebirth, A golden feeling Twill soon be morning Fader goes my mourning." © 2017 Victory H. Izevbekhai |
