Cries of our children, cries of our immediate generations

By Atok Dan Baguoot





Cries of our children, our own bloods

Cry with loud voices

Cry with tears in sorrows

Cry languishing in sorrows



Cries of our children, cries of our immediate generations

Cry for their doom future, cry for their lost hopes

Cry with their hoarse voices, lamenting for helps

Cry for their future ruined, cry for their heroic martyrs



Cry for their fallen heroes, cries of regrets

Cries of remorse, cries for direction

Cry for their forgotten heroes

Cry for their negative vanished

Cry for what took them

Cry for their whereabouts

Cry, cry, and cry for their mismanaged efforts



Where is the fate of our children

Where is the sole gold that our fore parents died for

Why do you let us in continual sufferings

When do you come for our rescue

We are the loiterers, we are the prostitutes

We beg them they who head the train for destination

We beg them for leniency, we beg them for mercy



Gone are days of bushes, gone are days of heroism

Gone are days of appreciations, gone are days of recognitions

Gone are days of their efforts, gone are days of sleepless nights

Gone are ancient days of togetherness, comes are days of disparities

Gone are days of tattered clothes, comes are days of loneliness in glitteriest

Gone are nostalgic days, comes are days of hatreds



Predators salvage on us, predators benefit from our fore parents’ efforts

Preys were we together, predators are they alone

Pretty are they with their prettiest

Preach us wisdom needed

Preach us honesty to manage our affairs

Preach us other than none but wholesomeness

Preach us our oneness, the only black family

Pride of our only entity

Pride of none but one family



Diminish our only incurable disease called T-R-I-B-E.

Demon that depicts us far apart from each other

Destroyer of equity and equality

Disease that grabs our unison family voice

Dislikes of our God given diversity

Dislike it the disease that denies transparency in distributing our only bread of the family
