Fallen

The nails cut deep into my clenched fist Blood escapes life to death’s never ending list My ebony skin has healed from your banishment My translucent soul weeps an eternal testament Our way back to heaven is measured and laden With endless detours and sharp thorns lay hidden We came too soon like an accidentally detonated bomb Nine months inside your immortalizing womb My two hands cannot hold enough water My wide open mouth evil sin can only utter

Thabang, this is a great Poem. Just wonder and wish things will get better for my fellow South Africans but as long as our economic status remains that stagnant things cannot change. I surely miss my Home Country. Keep writing. Connie,
