I'Ll Die For You

when hunger howls & roars like lion throwing rocks and pebbles at sun-drenched back flipping its razor like fangs on helpless tummies and striking with a devouring aplomb on defenceless intestines i will thrust my head in between, recklessly and die happily for you. when dawn hastily runs and meets dusks mind suffers as hypertension beats its devilish drum reminding the pockets that emptiness is madness a memory dead is brought alive to torment its bearer agony painted the face with its beauty because, i will die for you when authority sent back children home after endless whipping on their soft buttocks allowing innocent tears to Cascade their saintful cheeks for levies that levelled my moutainous hope to nothingness i shall bald my head as a sacrifice to cement because, i will die for you i die in the morning, noon and night i die blaming myself for my failures to meet your needs i die seeking for solutions to end our woes like a head abandoned by its body after a cut i will fall & die for you, again & again but if I may ask, will i live in your hearts?

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.
