#poetry UNBURDEN Nothing means anything to the dead Show them love while their hearts beat Shower them affection while they can still smile Hug them tight while they can still stand Listen to them while they can still talk Forgive them while there is still a chance Because Nothing means anything to them when they are gone And Everything means nothing to them when they expire #poetry
#poetry CHAINS In files we walked For days and nights We knew not when The journey would end The sun's blazing anger And sometimes the tears above Mocked us on our pathway With exhaustion and starvation Our chains were vicious and vice like And our captors? Villainous and venomous As captives We were spat on and; Challenged for being On the wrong side of history And; Most welcomed Was death The pain reliever #poetry
