A Cry For Change

Her eyes leak and her mouth sobs Her heart beats to the rhythm of the drums Her leg shivers and her hands weak On the actuality that a cankerworm has eaten deep What an absolute notion of melancholy A disgrace to the race of humanity An avalanche of great pain On the WORLD it pierces with dismay Man kidnaps man, woman kidnaps woman Blood against blood, funeral upon funeral A nightmare, a scarecrow to one What a breath taken downfall of man Armed forces, wake up from your sleeping slumber Humans remember that the other's your brother Fight this maestro of maudlin deformity And resurrect freedom to National unity This is the CRY against KIDNAPPING :: This poem was recited by me for the book launch of THE KIDNAPPERS written by Dr Nathaniel
