Break me
One more time
For I had a good nights sleep
For there was no load shedding at night
For there was water in the tap
For I had not heard
Cries of rape
Stories of robberies
Of many people
Dieing of hunger
Many mothers
Hoping that
The next day may bring
A piece of bread
The nights sleep
On the road side
Below the street light
Break me
One more time
For in the morning
In the news paper
The analysis of
Economy
Tells
Inflation is up
Poverty on the increase
No jobs
The aid syndrome
Aid the disease
And aid’s aid
Gruesome murders
Some blast again
People migrating
Break me
One more time
My songs of love
Of happiness I have forgotten
My comedians dead
My humor dry
My eloquence vanished
My blood but white
The color of my eyes
Has gone pale
My heart aches
My today full of pain
My yesterday was but hemlock
My future uncertain
My generations lost
Break me
One more time
With the breaking news
