Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Narrative

Tears of a Woman

Tears of a woman,
can move mountains;
Everest can migrate
across the Pacific
and settle on the Rockies
The Kilimanjaro can fly
and squat on Andes	
because of her tears;
the tears of a woman
can irrigate the Sahara.
Her tears can create oasis,
where nature could not

Tears of a woman,
can be a blessing
tears of a woman
can be a curse.
Empires have risen,
empires have fallen,
the impotent have risen
the great have fallen
due to tears of a woman.
A woman’s weakness
is her strength,
and her strength,
her weakness

Come along and listen
Put your hands
in your mouth
let your eyes twinkle
with wonder and dismay
This daughter
of the universe
has mystery
in her eyes.
Her life spells
impossibilities,
but the world
tinkles on and on
not without her
