where were they

isa kemmy



All came willingly unwillingly,

they needed no invite, 

their eyes so watery,

i thought of their pain,

the torment of raw pepper chewed,

they wept like rain 

and ended joyfully celebrating

 

celebration of a demise,

of the one their eyes knew

His coffin was cheap,

infact they paid a million,

a soot from France,

golden coffin artisted in Japan

the gone will enjoy

 

Their words were butter

yet piercing like a needle,

yet comforting to the unwise,

so hard and unfortune for him,

his siblings could not afford,

twenty and one thousand,

for him to be alive today,

 

their crocodile kindness,

so impressive

later forced to pack out,

while my matrimonial home 

joined the frictional world,

they inherited it all,

yet they had no sweat,

 

Kind tossed and flavouered hyena

they gripped the meat,

left by the deceased,

while his heart keeper

brushed off like dirt,

yet they were not there,

 

where were they?

when  i  stayed on 24 hrs,

hrs naping ,lapping und nursing

where were they?

when i was the only one strong,

to stay by his side

so where why you

    Well done, Isa. Powerful poem. 🌹👏 Where were they, indeed!

  • sorenbarrett

    A strong write about the ties or rather lack of ties between people and how they wait like vultures scavangers that pick the bones of the dead. Powerful!
