I Have No One Else

Murdered in cold blood, for refusing to be Part; corruption covered, I weep for the life cut short, weep!for I have no one else. Orphan I become, mingling with vipers and lice; In cities of flies, what can a tailless cow do? Hope that truth shall come to light. Contest:"Tanka me" a sad song sponsored by PD
