I Saw Yesterday I See Today, I Watch the Future

A bird that eats the wheat discouraging the farmer, The worm swallowed by a lizard, A butterfly soaring on a thyme bush, Perused a pregnant woman under torrential rain; Invulnerable, Manipulated, Empty thoughts that manoeuvres the corrupt mind; A snail struggling to overcome the steep stalk, A depraved heart lonely and unloved, I saw women breasts feeding soured milk, Recognising the malnourished children before a bonfire, The deepest pit holding hundred of cadavers, All in one rotten basket. I heard the words of a song, screeching without rhythm, I heard the lie of a woman cry rape, I’ve seen her innocent victim jailed; I longed for a clear mind, Without sorrow, Confusion, And hate. I saw a garden of yellow daffodils turning red, That is the husband mutilated the wife, The bright light of an artificial sun, The darkest sky without moon and stars, The unfortunate baby sucked out to live with us, In a world of gloom, Where a bird that eats the wheat discouraging the farmer, Where the worm swallowed by a lizard, Where a butterfly soaring on a thyme bush; Where a pregnant woman under torrential rain falls to the ground and miscarriage.
