I held a Mother in my arms, With love & tears of mournful abandon, Watching as she passed to paradise. In time, I heard a Father’s breath of silence; His silver cord too, shredded. Oh my soul! We have been force fed a lie; That real men don’t cry? for it is written; “and Jesus wept.” A son shouldn’t search such unsearchable sorrow... But it's right that children bury their parents, &   Not the other way around, a painful truth; our caretaker's are now in the ground. How long before sunshine’s healing rays Dissipate this institute of grief? & When will the Son rise? (G-d have mercy on us all.) ~  © Qwey.ku

Burma N’su (Men Don’t Cry)
I held a Mother in my arms, With love & tears of mournful abandon, Watching as she passed to paradise. In time, I heard a Father’s breath of silence; His silver cord too, shredded. Oh my soul! We have been force fed a lie; That real men don’t cry? for it is written; “and Jesus wept.” A son shouldn’t search such unsearchable sorrow... But it's right that children bury their parents, &   Not the other way around, a painful truth; our caretaker's are now in the ground. How long before sunshine’s healing rays Dissipate this institute of grief? & When will the Son rise? (G-d have mercy on us all.) ~  © Qwey.ku
