Tears Are Not Weakness
tears are not weakness
feelings are deep
when emotion
is a necessity
the reaction of
feelings don't
come same ways
as always
we all have our
different ways
in absorbing feelings
we all got our different
ways in expressing
feelings
so sometimes
when the mood get
so hard on a strong
feelings
sometimes I shade tears
does it mean am weak
of curse no not at all
tears are not weakness
considering the circumstances
surrounding my life
one must be tempted to
let some hard core feelings
go in a way not common
considering the hard life
I see in my country I feel
it grief
I feel it pain full of affection
I see the dieing innocent
I see thieves been honored
I see the hunters hunting
down our mineral resources
I feel we are not save
so the feelings keep on
and on compelling
so sometimes like
the humans I am
I shade tears
not because am weak
sometimes there is no
other way to ease your
tension buy to cry
for a while
tears are not weakness
for even the strong cry
even the brave cry
cos the life now
we bear in the third world
is like a big compound
mix with the toxicities
full of evil pollution
contaminated with wars
destroyed by lies
design with illusion
and now we are in a
big mighty jail
trapped by the misery
we never know
so the minds are full
of confusion in places
were we are suppose to
live we die for nothing
and when I see this
I can't withhold the
tears for humanity
