Tears From the Middle East

Tears from The East Head chatterd with state law No fair hearing because the law is deaf Executioner groaning with sword The hot sun ready to sip Her blood oozes in the midst of innocency Arrogant mob mocking her tears Justice jugging in the jungle She is Killed for no just cause Nature stood aloof As she groan and moan Mother weeps endless Father failing Desert wailing The ugly sun in the middle east bleeds for freedom Freedom trapped by devils in power Religion masking and muting our voices Today, we weep for Ramata Written Awoh Kingsley

I am not familiar with Ramata, but your poem is very moving. Across cultural boundaries your words touch me.
