be my mother
by T.N JELE
put bread on the palm of my hand,
put light on the roof upon ma head,
the birds on trees ring a band,
like a shark good enough to be dead,
YOU RAISED ME WITH YOUR SMALL HALTING HANDS AND WITH NO COMMENTS YOU HELD ME TIGHT!
But now only the soil can talk,
only if you could still walk
i’d do you proud mama .
now i’m grown and i live my life.
even though you are no more but your
soul still lives in me .
BE MY MOTHER AND I WILL BE YOUR SON.
