Dig Your Grave

We stand outside the inn
Arua is a kiln
We crawl back in
But we know no kin

Mungu ni mukee!
Bawls Pastor Paddy
From the inside of a robot
Mazarau's robot

When we look outside
and can barely view any clouds
We know this is no place
for normal sons of men

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
