Unwholesome Past

BUT I WEPT ANYWAY

BUT I WEPT ANYWAY

It was not enough to weep

It would have been just right

If other options were available

But they weren’t

On the first night

I begged God

To make the future

Better than today

But on the second night

It was just too much to bear,

To ask,

To beg.

And so, grave and ugly decisions

Were made

Or maybe dey weren’t so grave

Or so ugly anyway

Cos anybody would have done just that

And I’d already told God

I was going to do dem

I wish I hadn’t

But I wept anyway

And

It was not just worth it!

Homes are hurting,

People have forgotten how to cry...

Our family is slowly tearing apart.
