A short poem .. I Wrote about missing my mother after losing her in a car accident.. thought I would share
Oh Mama, I Cry
By Fatou Dibba
Oh mama, I miss you so much,
i never even got to know you very well,
for you left me when I needed you most
At times I wish you would, come to me, as a ghost,
I would not be frightened
I would hold you and hug you
And tell you I love you,
Remember when you came to me in that dream,
to tell me you were gone, and not to cry
can you come back, one more time?
And sometimes I wish I would get that call,
And your voice on the other end,
Saying "sweet daughter", it was all a mistake,
"I am coming to you"
And sometime i wish it was all a dream, and
that i will awaken, and there you would be
but i have not woken up yet.
And when things go wrong in my life,
the trials and the tribulations.
When someone hurts me,
when i am scared
i wish you were here to let me lay on her bosom and cry.
And tell me everything will be just fine.
Oh the wisdom of a mother!!
These are the times when i miss you most
I Know you would say, believe in God.
And i do, i believe in Him, with all my heart,
It was your time and you had to go,
But i need my mother so much right now,
i need you to wipe my tears away
the tears that i shed thrice a week
for you,
as well as the other struggles i am facing
alone.
But you not here, so i face my battles alone.
I love you Mother, and my prayers are with you
Fatou
LIVE WELL AND PROSPER

The Spider Walls
In the dark room of the cell
the spiders netted long strings
from the ceiling to the bare floor
while jail cracks widens
to friendly spider walls
iconic Mandela with longer nights
and shorter days
for twenty-seven odd years
breathing heavily
and aiming higher
for a day of rejoicing
-the South Africa's Independence
by the ANC.
The poem is dedicated to Nelson Mandela of South Africa, and it is also extended
in tribute to the late Steve Biko, Walter S. (patriot of the patriots), and all
those pushing for freedom, equality and justice.
