I've read about bloodshed;
whether foreign or local by hands of same labour,
Tribalism; though something I haven't experienced,
I've felt it's affect. The very hurt of a neighbour.
History has shown us plenty, still the plenty
of hurt in our history we carry.
If these walls could talk; they'd seem lesser, and
quietened by the ground's bloodshed.
History taught us well into future, but affected the
present so badly.
Tears of loss, tears of tragedy,
tears of us, tears of brothers and sisters,
Are tears of all, us as one nation's family.
Tears of old, tears anew,
tears of past, tears of present and future,
Are the tears of another I shed too.
These tears on the grounds of present pastures;
I question how long generations we'll wait for
the tears to into laughter.
Sigh!
