By-product of Sadness

Is Vacuum in heart.

Should the mind and body lighten?

However,

Terribly heavy with sorrow

Is it frightened?

It cannot be sad always

Who should see good days?

When please?

Ten years full of tears.

Cruel shatter dreams hers.

Home sweet home

Where could she search?

Where please?

Able, be with her baby.

No one there no one hears.

How, do find good years?

Hardships her child goes.

Face those holy boars.

Siphon money in his name.

It is their triumphant game.

Perseverance

Sunny and gregarious,

Joy-loving boy, ingenious

Carelessly treat green eyes.

Teens roll into the twenties.

Never bother his stolen years.

Big heart his, ever ready forgives.

The mother pains.

Yet another exploration of
that reality of the human
predicament...

Capturing and mind-probbing
in all of its balladic
rendition...An explication
of perseverance in the
alarming face of tearful
childhood and lost hope
shattered in dreams and
hardships...

Yet there is that healing
soul in forgiveness and
the painful message of
what some of our fellow
human beings go through
as time goes by...
