Cast upon him a burden
a wicked curse
born under the wrong agenda
what could be worse?
Life’s value lost and hollow
burned out
can anybody hear you?
There’s no way out!
Trapped in a hell from which
there is no escape
for being born on the wrong
side of the moon
life is cruel, look at his face
His beauty untouched
eyes having seen too much
out of tune out of touch…
I can’t even begin to imagine
the human suffering where you are
no laughter only sorrow
no hugs or good night kisses
no hope for tomorrow…
Does anybody know what happened
to the flowers where you are—
or the will to live, not just survive
live, die, eat, sex and cry
He’ll be leaving soon
wearing his pride on his chest
singing his favorite tune
dressed in his Sunday best!
Yes, he’ll be humming his favorite song
long after he’s gone
knowing his dream is now reality,
leaving behind a life of psychosis banality…

Oh wow, I like how you described what he is leaving behind.
Hi Angels, Yeah he got a scholarship to come to America. We lost touch over the years, but I like to believe he made it out alive.
Thanks for looking and leaving your thoughts

Wonderful, stirring write… could really feel it…
Hello, thank you very much Libellule 🙂
Zazzles ❤️
Your words swirled with the music in a tragic opera. I felt the sorrow in your heart for your friend born to be besieged in such a place. I can only imagine the horrors in these places. Your poem is a strong tonic to remind us of the tragedies unfolding on this planet.

Absolutely John the stories he would tell me just broke my heart so I had to write about it. I’m glad you walked away. Feeling something from this poem.
Love you, my brother
always
Your sister, Jackie❤️❤️
