with head up survived



i have watched not once but twice
my house being blown by cyclonic winds!

i have seen my house
smashed to the ground
by bombs dropped from fighter jets
while i, with my family, fled
to escape death from artillery guns

i have helplessly witnessed my folks
sinking in the sludge of scandalous gossip
those poisonous political discourses
by malevolent men and women
planting trees of violence

in all these i have survived
walking away with grace
and my head up!
