Spoken Art From Broken Hearts
This is a silent spoken art
Flowing from a broken heart.
My lips leap with livings lessons,
Love and life are the real reasons...
Love is not what it used to be,
Laughter is no more full and free.
Fathers have become fair feathers,
and mothers are now mere murderers.
Family has become a fold of fears,
Trust is now a big burden to bear.
Our sisters sell their body for money,
Our brothers hunts for hemp like honey...
Facebook is the new book youths face...
Morality has lost it's pride of place.
We crave power, position and possession,
Only to be cocooned in crass corruption?
Our world is a bunch of super nothing...
Fire will one day swallow everything.
We brought nothing to this planet earth,
We will leave everything at last breath...
Live, laugh and love while you live...
Be a blessing before you leave.
