DYING MOTHER

 

By 

Timothy Nkenu Woma

She is beautiful

Naturally dutiful

To be green and forever fruitful 

Oh!She is also Eternally youthful

Trampled on and polluted by

Her kids with ungrateful eyes

From New York up to Shangai

Her heart bleeds of ice

Cars and bikes, wheels and spikes

Polluting and attacking her daily with no compensation

But when clamity strikes

Everyone asks the same question that they have the answer to: "What Is Happening To Mother?"

Mother is dying, her kids are killing her

She gave and is giving them their breath but they do not appreciate

Mother is innocent,

But her kids are killing her.
