Death

If you were an animal I could summon the entire village On the hunt for you we could be Only if you were the forest I could set you on a terrible flame You are something unseen Where you are I can’t get hold of you Neither can my ears enjoy you whispering You silently tiptoe Among us the standing pillar you snatch Like bird picking grains You turn villages into deserts Only if you could be overcomed Forever we could enjoy grandpa’s folktales Like a bright flower in the rising sun Our sisters’ shinning was to be everlasting But when will your hungry stomach be full When will you fully quench your thirst? For how long will you be in merciless theft? Till when will the river flooding down our face stop? You have made me an orphan Cause of you am widowed Why did you chose to make me homeless From my side you took her now am hopeless With your hardened heart My face is covered with tears
