Soliloquy
by Gibert Mapengo Mwanguku
Lost in the desert like the acient
Hebrews of Israel
The blood clot system try to kill
me internally
I dig the truth and burry my
pride eternally
Like a sickle celled body I am
pale
but I survived to fight another
day cocooned in a coma
I can still hear my mother pray
Murmuring and mumbling words
of hope
a sister crying out to gods please
let my brother live
Walking towards light but
something pulling me the opposite
