16 Days

Why give up 16days To places and faces love forgot To the prescriptions of sorrows choas begot To the floods of humiliations inspired by turbulent times To anxiety dangling on a ledge tormented by the exhaustions of fears To the falling screams draped in tears To the insulting insults To the threatening threats To the vicious mind exploding beyond the persuasions of descriptive descriptions Describing reasonable reasons To the scattered seeds of rage that sprouted and endured flowers of discrimination To the 16seconds wisdom could not find Cause morals were pireced by shouting fences concertined by boundaries of intimidation. To the 16mintues of conceived deceptions that latched on to throats And swelled fists into bitter knots To the 16months of excuses and unhealing apologies silenced by mass graves of secretive secrets concealed in the terrors of abusive tombs. To the grieving mind 16years later on Still littered with fractured memories That remain removed from the cools of 16 being the sweet age that compels penetrating dialogues of Social maturity and justice 16 longs to be social aware 16 craves for responsibility 16days will usher in 16nights To find what can never be lost To Remember what can not be forgotten, To Speak what has never being spoken, To be reborn and love what was never loved To Reveal what needs to heal Cause brutally and violence are obligated to intervene Were thinking is virtually too frail to convene
