The Night Poem by Faraj Nyandiko

The Night



In the dark cried a voice,
Shrill with sighs of pain.
Then I heard some noise,
Like of an animal being slain.

When I peeped I saw a man,
Lying helplessly in the park.
Blood covered this son of a woman,
As they vanished into the dark.

Moments later people came,
Some with expectations, others without.
Who then was to blame?
He was no more, we were all out.
