MY TEARS WILL HAUNT YOU
It was happening there
Now I found myself here
I was conceived out of wedlock
By a careful careless mother with a heart like padlock.
Who wasn't ready to mother me
Yes!
It happened at Fuwukari,
Few days ago,
My mother birthed me;
And throw me to the dustbin.
Though she tried to abort me
When I was few months old
Pills, her daily alcohol,
She takes it and wait for reactions.
Reaction to abort me.
Fate was fair,
The pills were proteinous nutrients
Then comes eight months
She birthed me,
Without recourse to her life.
She birthed me,
Without shame she made dustbin my home,
My cry rises and falls,
But she deafend her ears.
It was horrible and terrible,
I wanted to drag her
To this painful sleep,
But mercy pleaded her course.
The Cross is merciful
In her bleeding state,
She wailed and cried for mercy
Bleeding, her open sin.
Friendly foes,
Dragged her to the clinic
To cleanse her clinical nonsense
She was saved.
Yes!
I died, because he and she
Abandoned me,
They left me die in painful mockery.
Will I ever forgive thee?
At your marriage bed
Hope you will pray for a child?
Fate will fight you.
I wail in purgatory
Waiting for the forgiveness
Of my Adamic nature,
You brought this upon me, mother!
