Strong To Tell

By Ombuge Moses

Alone be not
Exist to Happiness 
Exit to Sadness 
Joy to grow
Seed germinate

Ground hot too
Wind fast and dry
Dusts not settle
A lone be not

Young you are
Suck not my breast
For dead I am
Wish, hope you grow 
Strong to tell 
The story of this disaster
Dead am gone

Son, suck not
The breast of dead
Dead is your mother
Father to find
You get, share sad
Live happy, dead sad
Peace to preach
