My Heart Is Bleeding

Just like blood oozing from a wound Like water springing out of Chimanimani springs My heart is bleeding I got scared after seeing what they did My heart is still beating faster Like the traditional drums Pum pum pum !!! Just like the millet being pounded Pounded by a black African woman The horror still playing in my mind like drama The whole scenery becoming more and more vivid Their shining matchets they used Cutting his body into little peices As if they were cutting a chicken for supper Not even caring their devilish act What his mother was going to say or feel; They never cared Only their glutton they couldn't stop Wanting more and more as if they were prostitutes Resulting in a catastrophe Because of their rapacity Failing to quench their greediness Disguising themselves as angels Whilst hiding the blackness of their hearts Taking away the innocent soul Too young to die Shattering all his future The bright future that awaited him It is now like a myth or fairytale Once upon a time, he was with us My heart is still bleeding and beating
