Nowhere To Be Found
The son born before the last one
Father and mother so joyous
For they have another son
Black and strong, ebony yet porous
The darkness that lasts for a night
Lasting for a while, it has eclipsed
Blood oozes strength lost during the night
Morning comes, cold, confused he cried
The only word that comes out is the sister's name
Bitter pain, angry, furious, mad, infuriated, upset
is the son's family, the incident unexpectedly happens
Slowly but surely is the next scene, the consequence is clearly set
Eyes used to look at pleasant sights now for tear dropping, in tears i drowned
mother, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces in uncontrollable mourning because the son is now Nowhere To Be Found....
