A look
at the budging eyeballs can tell how long she's been crying from pain,
From
the brittle skin and scars you can tell how long she's been bleeding,
As
she tries to turn on her body, the cracks from her bones sound like the turning
of the hinges in the harmattan,
Alas!
She thought to herself 'my beauty, glow, joy, and the love in me is fast fading
away, Ensconced in her thoughts, the only safe place left for her to dwell in,
Murmurs
from the presence of her tormentors broke into her thoughts,
Debating
within herself, how that can be,
She
was snapped to reality by the tortuous whip in the hands of
"Terrorism",
Great
laughter ensued from Religion,Ignorance,Disease,Corruption, Genocide and wars,
With
hatred charging at her, in split seconds the covering left on her as dress was
torn,
With
her nakedness exposed, she asked "Haven't I gotten enough from this man of
horror?" Then she sees you coming afar from the end of the road,
Rays
of hope begins to rise in her, But immediately she remembered "Mr. Past
Generations" like the reproductive cycle, her hopes were reset to zero,
Mr.
Past Generations started like this she thought,
A
broad-chested, stout man, she was confident he would help defeat and exterminate
her enemies,
Not
only was he built, he was armed with great weapons of wars like; knowledge of
science, Oration,literary skills,money, power and position,
Approaching
and smiling at her she was sure Mr. Past Generations would help,
But
her heart sunk when Mr. Past Generations handed over his weapons to her
enemies,
And
the helpless and defenseless world continues her bouts of torture now you see
why she's not excited at your coming?
Are
you going to tell and shows are you're a special breed?
Would
you walk up to the world, dry her tears, bound her wounds and whisper softly to
her ears 'THE WAIT IS OVER',
Or
would you be like Mr. Past Generations,
And
the world continues to wait, not knowing who she's waiting for.
