Sleep Joshua

I am not sure if you are having a peaceful rest I may not know you but my heart feels you My bones feels your fear and trauma How scary it must have been in a land full of strangers Being tortured by the humans that could not even understand your pleading Yes they are humans and not animals And they a bit more scary than wild animals Did they not know how dear you were to your mama Did they not know your father depends on your future Did they not know how hard you had struggled to be there Did they even not know that your country had trusted you How ruthless of them I wish I had not seen your picture for your sad face still dwells in my brain Imagining how scared you might have been and the pain you might felt breaks my heart into thousand pieces Do not be sad everything will be okay Sleep son sleep The Lord will pay for your injustice Sleep son sleep Your soul should rest for sure Dedicated: Joshua Mollel
