Humankind

upon this black couple mountain I sat and watched though like Jonah, bereaved Mankind in travail like a fierce Pregnant woman in the feeble street THings grumbled and fall apart Humankind deserted amidst tears and pains "O heaven" i wailed "Wail not, its their cause" the spirit said "When shall this end" i asked the spirit confused "Until the messiah comes" the spirit said again I continued watching like the king in the days Of Samson in the pretty house before it was damaged Mankind were beaten like the Israelite of old in Egypt My tears failed to come down again from my eyes I begged him thousand times to come but it declined My emotions became my father in the noon " when shall mankind be free from suffering?" I asked again but there was no answer to me.
