    The Cry of the dead

    OneByOne International

    Liberian Poetry

    The Cry of the Dead by Josh Konneh 

    Why can I be me?

    Why I got to be like him?

    What type of world is this?

    You can say what you feel

    Too much blood,

    Too many deaths

    Many are losing their life every day and night

    Cause they are fighting for their right

    What 's gonna happen to my kids?

    Do they have a future?

    What is my answer to a broken heart?

    Cause my eye's are getting red

    My shirt is getting wet

    Cause the pain never seem to stop

    Every day and night my tear is running down from my eye's

    Do my kids have a dream?

    Dream I'm living my dream

    Are they living their dream in a country of war?

    Is this going to end or is this a start to a life of a pain?

    I can't seem to smile

    Why do I have to live this life?

    Are you going to save me or are you going to watch me die?

    Before I die this is what I'm gonna to say to the world.   

    Help save my children in a country of war

    OneByOne  start a new home for those who feel alone

    People of the world this is your time

    To build more room

    For the future generation.

    I feel the pain in this poem bro and I understand why you have so many questions. I grew up hard too and I really remember not being able to smile. But shit changes as long as you keep trying. Don't ever give up just keep pushing. Good Job!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
