Baba Poem by Artwell Masuku

Baba



Why do You always seem
To slam the door in my face
When will my life be done
So that You might finally
Take me from this place?

When will this life
Ever turn around
When will my heart
Be put to ease
What am I here for
If not
To keep on searching
If not
To keep on learning
What am I to do
If this fire within me
Just won't ever
Cease its burning?

What do I do
When hope is shattered
What do I do,
Now that I can only
Lick my wounds
How do I focus on you
When I still feel
All these scars inside of me
Just how do You expect me to live
When I really don't even want to?

Baba please eases the suffering
I hate to live
With all of this
Constant pain and strife.
