That's When She Cried

That's when she cried,
Tears flowing down her 
ckeeks she asked why
Is my only son paralysed?
Why is this happening to me 
i'm so traumatised.
I had dreams of feasting on 
chicken and rice,
Now my dreams only come 
down to porridge and tripe,
To tired of darkness i wanted a 
light, 
Just a tiny drop of a moment 
with something nice,
Lamentations of a heart that 
felt nothing right,
Weepings of a soul that saw 
nothing good with life,
Took a peep through the 
window and saw her son,
Tears filled her eyes,
That's when she cried.
