I cry for those who never cried
Those who said men don’t cry
I cry for those who never cried
when they lost loved ones
It was painful and it hurts
I cry for those who never cried
when their partner betrayed them
When they were blackmailed
called names
called a lier
Humiliated on social media
kicked out of the church
Those who acted strong
Denied their feelings of the healing of crying
I cry for those whose businesses were looted
they acted strong
I cry for those who passed with flying colours and made it to varsity but were unemployed.
I cry for those who believed the empty promises of politicians’ life never changed.
I cry for a matriculant that never passed
I cry for that child that just lost its mother
For that boy with no granny
For that boy who is now becoming iphara
I cry for that family, that sister and that brother reading this poem crying
Let the rain fall.
