Let Them Sleep

Dear readers,

The inconsistency and lack of speed at which I update my blog is driving me up the wall as well; I apologize for always putting things up so late and at seemingly random times. Again, thank you so much for everyone who continues to read my blog; I hope you enjoy this new piece! God bless and have a wonderful day!





Let Them Sleep



We sing,
But our voices drown
From rubbles crushing
Our throats, rubbles
That once held our
Roofs.


We dance,
But our feet bleed
From glasses cutting
Our soles, glasses
Through which we
Saw baba and mama make
Mounds.


We play
But our baba yells
Our mama cries
Not to play
On top of the
Mounds
Not to play
To let my brothers and sisters
Sleep

Peacefully.
