Okay I've been so overwhelmed by school lately, being my final semester, I barely have time for myself, not to think of blogging sef. But anyway, I had the opportunity and time to do a little re-evaluation and reflection on life, (one of my favourite thing to do and place to be) well I got a little something out of it, which I decided to pen down...really helped me re-focus and channel more energy to my passion and purpose in life: Africa................
Enjoy;
Today, I Wept
I wept:
When I saw your face
Flashed on the TV screen today
In despair, begging for help
Your eyes met with mine,
And I heard your soul weep
So I wept too
I wept:
When I saw you crawled up
In the hut on the TV screen
And you looked up
As the camera closes in on you
Your stare said a lot,
You were clinging to something
Extra-ordinary for hope,
I felt what you felt
So I wept more
I wept:
Because I am guilty,
And I’ve ignored you too long
I made a promise to come back for you
To make things better
But I’m still here
Whiling away time
I feel so guilty
So I wept even more
I wept:
Because I was disappointed
In myself, that it had
To take a television message
To remind me of you,
My brother and my sister
I ponder on how comfortable
My life is here, and yours?
So I wept harder
I wept:
When I heard the number of
Faces like yours starving in
My Great motherland; Africa
Now the image is stuck in my head
And now;
I can’t stop weeping.
