The Cry That Will Judge

Sakwa Franc

If things got expiry date

Then let my tears dry

Out of their graves they cry

Justice, justice, where is your jury?

Gunshots in the morning bandits in the evening

 

Before they know how to trudge

Young men falls quiet in red pools

No place to call a home and no food

Some wander in unknown places

The last enemy knocks no one survives

 

Naked and without hope

Kwashiorkor eats them 

Media houses are attracted 

Rusty blades devour young girls

Bleeding , bleeding , the land is polluted

 

In foreign streets the cry is the same

Those with black skins are inferior

Their spray is bullets and their water is blood

Filed and forgotten cases, the cry

Cancer is in our cells the racism

 

Before their knockers are fully exposed

Sisters are caged in prisons of prostitution

Like doormats they are used and damped

Money in their pockets but souls in graves

My heart bleeds.

    'Rusty blades devour young girls'
    for those that realise
    the pure Horror of these words
    that in 2023 modernity, such
    despicably barbaric inhumanity
    is still being enforced
    on young defenceless
    girls
    can only fuel our rage
    at existence's depthless pits
    of injustice...
    (great write, dear Poet
    it's so important
    that we utilise our art
    to scream loud
    on behalf of those
    who've had their volition
    horror, stunned
    into subservient dissonance)

      But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
