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
