Hunger
I awoke with nothing
I went to sleep with nothing
all in my mind was a hunger unfulfilled
all I had was in me
and all that I wanted was around me
my clothes were torn my legs were bleeding
but all I wanted was to satisfy my hunger
the cold was in my breath
the cold was in my blood
but all my thoughts were with the food in the window
so mellow and sweet
so soft and unrefined
my mind began to flow my hand began to move
the window shattered
and there was my freedom
I began to eat as painful as it was
my throat burned with a sensation of thanks and hate
for to it my survival was not worth its pain
with a smile on my face I blacked out
I went to sleep with nothing
all in my mind was a hunger unfulfilled
all I had was in me
and all that I wanted was around me
my clothes were torn my legs were bleeding
but all I wanted was to satisfy my hunger
the cold was in my breath
the cold was in my blood
but all my thoughts were with the food in the window
so mellow and sweet
so soft and unrefined
my mind began to flow my hand began to move
the window shattered
and there was my freedom
I began to eat as painful as it was
my throat burned with a sensation of thanks and hate
for to it my survival was not worth its pain
with a smile on my face I blacked out
While
I was blacked out the wind came and blew away my poem when I woke there was nothing.
innocent victim of
war -I think I understand you, but don’t be scared by those sounds or
the ground shaking.. its just a
missile they pass by often , sorry I
cant tell you where that one is going but where every it lands I can assure
there will be death and destruction tears and the very distinct scent of human
flesh , I have to ask Allah is he deaf
.. I know he is real.. .. I see him in
the beauty of my land, I feel him in the embrace of family , I have tried to kill him when I
kill my own hope for the future .. I
have cried out to him “ to fix my
daughters crashed body” after we dug her from the rubble.... I feel a great
silence so I have to ask him can you hear me … ?
you
see lord they press the buttons from so far, they kill so many but they don’t
see anything they are not choked by the rubble dust or shook by the sound they don’t have to smell scorched flesh and
hear mothers and children crying.. “they break the backs of our women with
sorry of mourning their husbands and sons” ...ahh I get it … see no evil but do all evil.. hahha they don’t pay attention to the turmoil of
there own soldier ...they witness the madness
and they are infected as they
return to pass it on in there homes , war does strange things to all who wage
it .. we are all victims and those who wage it the soldiers that is on both
sides .. not those who order it , my ashes settle peacefully although I am
surrounded by war, history records it as
nothing as they war on .. .my 30 seconds of fame as they show my land .. I am buried over there behind the reporter…they stand aside and say
nothing and do nothing .. , next to my innocents my peace and ashes settle ,
and I become the wrong part of history reported by those who don’t know the
truth I think they are called world /cooperate leaders, history is written by
those how win wars. What’s is my name I ask the general , I ask the president
.. Koffi Anan what is my name ?
who ordered the pressing of the button .. they
says nothing..
