    … to understand

    I have yet to understand why Blacks in this land, do not strive to leave the country that constantly rapes them of their dignity   Yet to understand where the kindness towards the others comes from; the courage to smile and just keep it moving   Yet to understand why they long to be like ...

A poor manClinging to a blanket for warmthAsking for spare changeAnything for food or water Or a girl walking down lonely streetsHoping to find a companionSomeone for the nightTo cure her broken heart Maybe a soul on his deathbedOn borrowed timeHoping for ...
